Flickr: Inconsistent distplay when embedding a single image or an album/slideshow #46554

Open jerrysarcastic opened 3 years ago

jerrysarcastic commented 3 years ago

When a single Flickr image is embedded (oembed) the resulting embed lacks overlay information that is shown when embedding an album of images.

See video here: https://d.pr/v/Zgf4pe

By way of comparison, the same embeds on a Squarespace site show information overlays on both types of embedded content

See video here: https://d.pr/v/QYz6IM

Steps to reproduce

  1. create a test page in Gutenberg
  2. Add a Flickr image (I used https://www.flickr.com/photos/emrold/50417032372/in/datetaken-public/)
  3. Add a Flickr album (I used https://www.flickr.com/photos/emrold/albums/72157716246059703)
  4. publish page and observe data overlay appears on album but not single image

What I expected

Data overlay on both, similar to what you see in other services. Reported in https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/inconsistent-flickr-embed-behaviour/

Had the same issue reported by a user on the Blogging for Beginners course + reproducable on my own test site as well.
