Instagram oembed not working

Hi, with Newspaper theme, the instagram oembed doesn’t work and I don’t know how to activate it.

For example…

– I change the theme to the wordpress default
– I am writing a post, and I write one IG url, like this, “https://www.instagram.com/p/CyQWbjtIed8/” .
– when I go to the post, I see in there the instagram post embeded.

– then I change the theme to Newsletter
– I return to the post, and I only see the url text of the instagram post, it is not embeded anymore.

I have setup into Newspaper social settings my IG account, the personal and the pro ones, but it doesn’t help.
I can’t find the field which is removing the IG oembeds.

Thank you very much.

Hello,

If you mean that the posts integrated into your website on Facebook or Instagram no longer appear due to the fact that they were blocked.
If you want you can check this article https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-facebook-and-instagram-oembed-issue-in-wordpress/ that could help you restore them.

Thank you!

Hi! Thank you very much for your answer.
They are displayed with theme “Twenty Twenty-Three”, but if you change again to “Newspaper” they are blocked again. So that seems that it is the theme who is blocking them.
Even, if I use one plugin like Smash ballon which seems to fix these problems, when the problems are related to wordpress, they are not displayed with Newspaper theme.

I am using the simple editor for creating posts, not the wordpress blocks.

Hi,

I added the embed code in the shortcode element from Gutenberg, and for me works -> https://i.imgur.com/cWFauVf.png -> https://i.imgur.com/zqbFDnH.png
Maybe the problem is caused by the cache plugin https://i.imgur.com/aUa0OOJ.png. Does this plugin have the option to optimize the css/js?

Thank you!

Thank you Ana María.

The embed code works for me.

I’d like to go with oEmbed. I mean, writing only the url of the post. For example, “https://www.instagram.com/p/CyQWbjtIed8/”, only this code.

– With another theme it works, with and without cache
– with a helper code like Smash balloons + Newspaper it doesn’t work, and it should

Something into the theme is avoiding the oembed features, is it possible?
