Hi, Today we noticed that all the featured facebook videos are no longer appearing in our posts. Youtube video are fine. Is there any known issue with facebook videos being used featured videos?

Hi Catalin, Thanks for replying. Embedding the video works fine, but we have hundreds of posts that have used featured videos and they no longer work. Is there a reason that featured videos isn’t working with NewsMag now?

Hi,

Unfortunately, the Featured Video from Facebook does not work, sorry! It seems to be a problem with the API on Facebook and that’s why it does not work.

Thank you!

FYI:
There is actually a problem with *all* Facebook embeds which started this past week, as we have a report dashboard for clients where we paste in the URL for FB posts to show them how we share their content; those also stopped working, and it’s not theme related in any way. Twitter embeds work.

It’s almost like FB ‘broke’ all their embeds for simply pasting a link to something into a WP WYSIWYG box in WP post editor and/or a custom field, like with ACS PRO.

So — it’s NOT theme related; we’re seeing broken FB elements “everywhere” this week.
