Twitter/X Embed Block Not Working.

[paxblueribbon]

Quick summary

On some sites Twitter/X embeds don't work, when adding a new one I get "Sorry, this content could not be embedded."

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a new Twitter block in Gutenberg.
2. Paste the URL into the box.
3. Click Embed

What you expected to happen

Site displays the tweet.

What actually happened

"Sorry, this content could not be embedded."

Impact

Some (< 50%)

Available workarounds?

Yes, difficult to implement

If the above answer is "Yes...", outline the workaround.

• Get the embed code from the Tweet
• Paste it into a Custom HTML block.

However this is only a partial workaround, as it doesn't fix previously posted Twitter/X embeds.

Platform (Simple and/or Atomic)

Atomic

Quoting a relevant portion from the user's message:

i have to try several times to embed it and it seems working but after publish it, only a link appears

Workaround for Atomic sites would be using the manual embed feature from X:

Alternatively, going to https://publish.twitter.com/#

This has also been reported in 9006510-zd -- however, the user has a simple site, so the atomic workaround did not work as intended on the live site (only displays embed in editor view).

Another report here: 9017138-zd-a8c

The embed displays in the editor but converts to a link only on the live post.

Simple site.
