X.com links doesn't embed automatically on Simple sites

[devNigel]

Quick summary

X ( Twitter ) has officially changed its domain from twitter.com to x.com. Hence, the URL that we get from X when pasted to the editor ( post, page or comment box ) as a link or in the shortcode no longer works as expected.

The issue is reproducible on Simple sites.

Steps to reproduce

1. Grab an X link, such as this: https://x.com/MKBHD/status/1806486060978831763
2. Go to Post / Page editor or a comment box editor
3. Paste the link.

What you expected to happen

Expected to see X tweet to get embedded on the editor.

What actually happened

X tweet did not get embedded on the editor.

This has been fixed already. I was able to paste the example X link and it correctly creates the embed:
