  I’m trying to embed tweets in my blog posts, but they are always displayed as quotes, meaning: 1) media don’t show; 2) it’s not obvious at first glance that it’s a tweet.
  Tried a few different themes, but all of them display it as blockquote. Is there any way (on free .com) to display a tweet as a tweet, besides a screenshot with link to the tweet?

  The Twitter Block is the perfect solution, https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/twitter-block/

  I’m using the twitter block, and it doesn’t work. As you can see in this post, the tweet is displayed as a blockquote, and not as a tweet. I’ve tried different themes, but no success

  Also, even in the support link provided, the example tweet is displayed as blockquote

  Hi @thiagomargarida, if you’re seeing it displayed as a quote, you’re getting the fallback option for when your browser isn’t handling the tweet.

  If you view the same posts in another browser, does it show up? If so, let us know what your typical browser’s version is, and whether you’ve got extensions that could be blocking the tweet.

  Originally I was in Edge chromium. Tried chrome and it worked, thank you for letting me know of this behaviour
