I don't think it's a WPforo Embeds issue

@cotner,

Yet it works, you're right. We were testing wpForo Embeds addon here at wpForo.com. Now the addon is disabled, we don't need the addon here. This addon supports tweeter URLs with tweeter.com but it doesn't work with x.com. That's why I recommend open anew topic in gVectors Support forum and ask for this change.

@robert Are you guys playing games or something?

The embed was working for twitter.com and not x.com on this site and in this thread earlier today. Now neither works? My first post clearly showed the embedded twitter and now it is not???

@robert well you must have it installed here then and it is broken here.

Also… I actually didn’t think Twitter was on the list of embeds with that plug-in since it wasn’t listed. So I thought it wasn’t the plug-in

Hi @cotner,

Thank you for reporting this bug, however i think you should move this topic to gVectors Support forum. wpForo doesn't have twitter embedding function so we cannot support this issue: https://gvectors.com/forum/

Bug with Twitter (X.com) embeds

I am noticing a Twitter embedding issue across wpForo. It appears that once Twitter switched over to the X domain, embedding those tweets no longer work on WPForo. A link is posted only. But if you change the URL from x.com to twitter.com, it works just fine and embeds correctly.

Since the Twitter copy link is now being moved over to x.com, I thought I would give you a heads up before it becomes more a a problem.

Here is an example tweet using the native X.com (only the link shows)

https://x.com/espn/status/1701400215142445452?s=20

The same tweet with twitter.com replacement. (embed works as it should)
