Spotify Embed Block not working
-
The Spotify block widget is not working. I enter the URL into the block and it accepts it but then shows up on my site as a link rather than the playlist. This problem also persists when I remove the hyperlink.

Hi there,
What is the URL of the site you are trying to use the Spotify embed? We’ll be happy to take a look at this end and see if we can pinpoint the issue.
Thanks!

Hm, it seems to be working fine for me.
Try it without the added query string bit, just use:
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6Q0DODg7CscTBqFEOmIw60 -

You’re adding it as plain text.
As mentioned earlier, you need to add it using the Spotify Block.

I added it using the Spotify block but it simply shows up as plain text when I enter it, save and check the live site.

Here is the link of what happens when I put it into the Spotify block. I screen recorded while I tried again Spotify WordPress Trouble

Strange. I just tried it on my test site. As @maxmanx suggested, I used the address without the query string (so take out the question mark and everything after it).
On my test site, the preview did not show up in the widget area. But it does show in my sidebar.
Next I tried changing my theme to Button 2. It still shows up properly. I’m a bit stumped.
Do you mind if we attempt to do this for you on your site, so that we can experience what you’re seeing? Hopefully that will give us more clues as to what’s causing the trouble.

Also – I noticed your site doesn’t have any published content just yet. I don’t know whether that would cause this, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen lack of content make things be a little buggy.
Would you mind publish a post, even if it’s just a simple “Hello World” type thing?
Also, while you’re doing that, would you mind testing to see if the same playlist will work as a block in that post?
