So an interesting change is coming to Mastodon embeds.

Previously, the embed code consisted of an iframe, going forward, this is being switched to a blockquote.

In either case, the original text of the post is not included and is rather added after the main page the embed is on is loaded.

@[email protected] Alright, I just went ahead and made the necessary update, it didn't require too much effort.

Let me know once you update the plugin!

@[email protected] Great! Did you also try the new embed, something from mastodon.social?

@[email protected] Thank you! No rush. It should work and look exactly the same way as with iframes.

@[email protected] Anyway, will have to wait for it to work.
My instance is still 4.2.10, so it doesn't seem to work well...

@[email protected] @[email protected] it should still work with the old-style iframe code but with the post URL substituted in (on the Wordpress side)

@andypiper @cybeardjm Right, but this is an issue with the UI, the embed code is missing, see the screenshot I added to the GitHub issue.
