Members janea4old Posted September 13, 2023 Members Share Posted September 13, 2023 I have observed the same thing with other online places that try to embed tweets ... it won't embed if the URL is x.com ... but the same tweet will embed if you change the URL of the tweet to twitter.com I guess it takes a while for sites to reconfigure for embedding x.com 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmaster Errol Posted September 13, 2023 Webmaster Share Posted September 13, 2023 As others pointed out, it takes time for sites to be able to embed content from different social media companies, particularly when there is a domain change. While X.com is a real website, for the most part, it redirects to twitter.com when it comes to sharing links. Also, our software provider has not yet provided a conversion to X (formerly Twitter) for social. Once an update is available, it'll be implemented. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted December 16, 2023 Members Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) @Errol This evening December 15, 2023, tweets stopped embedding. As always, with x.com just the URL shows. NEW: with twitter.com, the words and name and date of the tweet show but in text format and there are no images. And the date seems to display in UTC instead of in my local time. I tried to post this tweet https://twitter.com/bethharrisap/status/1735825564169306583 and this is what I got: Please register in order to view this content I looked through some previously posted threads here at SON and all the embedded tweets are displaying the same way right now.

Members Liberty City Posted December 16, 2023 Members Share Posted December 16, 2023 I think it's more so to do with Twitter / X than the board, because I see it on another forums, too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted December 16, 2023 Members Share Posted December 16, 2023 You're right. Tweets that were already embedded on news sites from before and looked fine, now won't display properly. So embedding is broken all over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmaster Errol Posted December 17, 2023 Webmaster Share Posted December 17, 2023 As you might have seen already, embeds are working again. It was definitely an issue on Twitter/X's end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted January 10 Members Share Posted January 10 (edited) @Errol Wednesday morning January 10, 2024. Previously-embedded tweets no longer display correctly. New ones won't either. Embedding is working elsewhere, so I think this time it's a SON issue. It's not working on the main SON page for the embedded tweet in this link: https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2024/01/general-hospital-2023-end-credits-people-behind-the-scenes-port-charles Nor is it working in the associated SoapsLine board thread for same topic. But the tweet itself is still active. Edited January 10 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted January 11 Members Share Posted January 11 (edited) Update, twitter embedding is still working on several other messageboards on other hosting platforms, which is why I thought it was a SON issue. But I noticed it's not working on a soaphub article and on a news site. In every case/place that I saw embedding wasn't working, I tested by clicking on the outline or date of the tweet, and the tweet itself opens in a new tab fine, but it won't display embedded. So it's not just SON-related ... but it's not as widespread as the mid-December 2023 problem was. Edited January 11 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted January 14 Members Share Posted January 14 update January 13. I still cannot see embedded tweets in Chrome. But nobody else seems to be mentioning an issue so I just checked other browsers. I can see embedded tweets properly displayed in Firefox. But not in Microsoft Edge and not in Chrome. I'm viewing from a Windows PC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted January 16 Webmaster Share Posted January 16 Using your link from earlier in the thread above, I'm not seeing any issues with embedding Tweets simply by pasting the URL. Using a Mac and Chrome - Version 120.0.6099.216 (Official Build) (arm64). Do you have an updated version of Chrome? or Edge? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
