Sorry this content could not be embedded!!!

Hi Mary @marywt,

Are you talking about the below link on the page not embedding as a block?

Hi Tim,

Yes, whatever I try to do it still shows as a URL when all the others embed and show an excerpt.

I just can’t work out what is different about this URL, unless it is that the title of the page is the same even though the website is different.

Any help you can give will be much appreciated.

Apart from this problem I am finding the twenty twenty one theme glitchy, it isn’t WYSIWYG an many aspects and I have to spend a lot of time previewing to find out what the page will really look like.
I love having the mixed blocks but m finding it hard to arrange them as I want, they don’t drag and drop as I expect but that may just be a learning curve.

kind regards

Hi @marywt,

I must admit, I personally don’t like or use the Gutenberg editor. I know lots of people love it, but for me, it’s a no!

The title shouldn’t make any difference – as you say it’s down to the URL. The other site is even a WP site, so I can’t see any reason why it shouldn’t work. I just tried it on my development site too, and I get the same – so you’re not going mad.

I’m not totally sure exactly how this feature works, but I think that each site has the ability to “opt in” to oEmbed content – which I guess largely depends on the theme.

This post does give a little more insight into it: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/sorry-this-content-could-not-be-embedded/#post-11631304

Does that help at all?

After a little more testing, it does seem to be linked with whether the page is built in Gutenberg or not.

Hi Tim,
Thanks but I have read everything I could find about the topic so I had read the article you link to.

I am very grateful that you could replicate the problem, and I am not going mad!

This site is a new one for the Vision Group for Sidmouth, we have several for different projects. Some were built before Gutenberg, some after, some used the classic editor some use blocks; and we use different themes too.

This Champions Awards site is the only one I have used Twenty twenty-one theme in and I am finding it very counter intuitive. For me it is the theme which is the problem not the blocks.

The whole site was built using blocks and I added content given to me by colleagues which I cut and pasted. When I dropped it in a paragraph block they all automatically embedded except the first one. I have done everything I can think of, including things like inserting new blocks in the middle of the others and trying to embedd it there … so lateral thinking has been going on ??

So, not only the page but the whole site has been built in Gutenberg with no classic editor input at all apart from when I tried it as a test to get it to embed.

I just can’t understand how you can drop a whole set of links in a page and have all but one embed. Do you know how I can attract the attention of the developers of Twenty twenty-one?

Thanks, Mary

Hi Mary,

You can still use the Classic Editor – it’s still under support by the core development team and workds fine. I use it on almost all of my sites with no problem.

You’ll need to install the Classic Editor plugin from the link below.

You may also opt to install a plugin such as the below to disable Gutenberg so you are only using the Classic Editor on your site.

You can reach the developers of ‘Twenty Twenty-One’ via the theme support forum at the link below. Keep in mind that ‘Twenty Twenty-One’ is made by the core WP development team.

Personally, I also don’t like the Gutenberg editor – so you are not alone.

Hope this helps, sorry for the delay.

Kind Regards,
Tim
