Preview box for embedded link not working

  After the last WordPress update, the preview boxes stopped generating for embedded links on my published posts. In the block editor, I often use the WordPress embed to highlight and link relevant posts on my site.

  When I am in the block editor, the preview box is generated for the embedded post, however when I go to the published post, the preview box does not appear – only a hyperlink appears.

  I would like to have the preview boxes appear on the published post as they did before the update. How do I resolve this? You can see an example of this on this page if you scroll down. The heading reads ‘Should you be interested…’ and where the embed preview box should appear, there is now only a hyperlink.

  Thank you.

  Hi there!

  I’m afraid that your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Dreamhost.

  Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites hosted elsewhere; we can only assist with sites hosted on our servers. You can read more about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/.

  You can look for help at the community forums here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/.

  http://wordpress.org/support/ is also a great resource for sites using the open-source WordPress.org software.
