Embedding tweets
-
Hi,
Why won’t wordpress let me embed tweets into a post properly?
Last night I held a live tweet for a film premiere & I wanted to put those tweets into a post today.
While I was writing the post, all seemed fine. I previewed it & the tweets were visible as they should be. But after saving it they now just appear as a link.
Is there a reason for this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

The full instructions for embed tweets are here:

BTW, I also slept since then. ;)

I copied and pasted the links as per the instructions, but as I say they are now only appearing as links in the preview page and not as tweets.

Apparently putting short code in to change the width brings them back as tweets, but I’m unsure in why I need to do this when all was fine originally.

why have you posted a link to this forum?
Because you have read that response:
Be sure to paste the Twitter URL on a line by itself and make sure it isn’t hyperlinked

Do you understand? -

This is one example: https://twitter.com/TheTwinkieThing/status/601435120277463041
I have made them work since by putting short code in like this: [tweet https://twitter.com/TheTwinkieThing/status/601435120277463041 width='800]
But it is my belief that I shouldn’t need to have done that as it should have worked first time.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Copied, pasted & posted on a test blog. You can see it here:

One question: have you copied the link in the visual editor or the text editor?

Hey man, the test you put up is how mine look now & how they looked originally, but as I say I’ve had to put short code in to make them work, something I believe I should not have needed to do.
And I did them both in the visual editor.
Thanks.

Try with the Text editor.
I put only the link, not the shortcode, and it works perfectly, as you can see in my test blog.
