Embeded video in text block modul

[kaxigt]

I'm trying to embed a video via wp media uploader in the text block modul instead of using the specific video modul but it doesn't work. How to fix this?

Hello,

Sorry, I don't know, I am not a WP Editor expert.

Try to switch to text mode add the embed shortcode manually

Hello,

Our clients also have complains about this issue.
They are trying to insert videos under tab shortcode container and it is not working.

Are there any news about this issue?

[ghost]

Sorry, no news.

I have tried wp-editor > Add Media > Insert from URL > YouTube link, it throws a js error and the preview is showing endless loading

@moldcraft It works for me and I'm not able to reproduce that.

[kaxigt]

Sooo, am I understand this right you won't do anything about it regardless the complains?

[andreiglingeanu]

Well it worked on my side. Have you tried it and it fails for you?

[kaxigt]

Yes I have tried it, and appearently others too without a good result. I tried both on child as parent standard theme.

sorry @kaxigt , im sure it will be looked at

[andreiglingeanu]

@kaxigt Can you please make a short video out of your problem?

[kaxigt]

Now I have tried again. Embed video doesn't work when upload media in text block. Totally blank.

[andreiglingeanu]

You mean in frontend?

[warudin]

Is it me or does adding a YouTube url in a text-block still not work?

When adding a link in a text-block the back-end shows the video, when checking front-end, only the url of the video shows up. When putting [embed] tags around it, nothing shows.

[andreiglingeanu]

Have you tried to pass the text block contents through the do_shortcode() function? This is required for the embeds to fire up.

[warudin]

I haven't changed the code in the text-block, so this is what happens, which is the default:

<?php echo do_shortcode( $atts['text'] ); ?>

[andreiglingeanu]

There is definitely some differences in the way these editors are implemented... The editor from the Widgets -> Text works expectedly, it properly inlines the Embed URL:

I'll try to dig this... There must be missing some JS functionality for our editor.

No one of you tried to look this more deeper than just reproducing the issue?

@andreiglingeanu

this is what @warudin said

when checking front-end, only the url of the video shows up.

so it means the do_shortcode frontend does not work , but we need to know if @warudin is talking about builder shortcode or the sidebar

[andreiglingeanu]

I believe he's talking about the builder shortcode. I can reproduce this thing on my side too

[warudin]

Yeah, this is about the text-block shortcode.

When adding a YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo link, a preview shows up in the back-end, but on the front-end we're only seeing a url.

Has anyone fixed this issue?
I'm also have this issue. I'm only could show YouTube video in WP-editor by putting whole iframe tag in text mode of editor:
