$wp_embed->run_shortcode issue

[Patrick Sasser]

Hello,

Ok so something very strange is happening on this page….

http://www.thecrossingchurch.com/stories/janis-shannon/

As you can see something from The Events Calendar/Events Calendar Pro is getting embedded there and I’m not telling it to be embedded there. Here’s an image of what I’m talking about being embedded… http://puu.sh/pLo2V/3b660f4ffa.png

Here’s the code that is being executed.


global $wp_embed;
echo $wp_embed->run_shortcode('[embed]https://vimeo.com/168256794[/embed]');


Any thoughts as to why the above code would render the embed from Events Calendar Pro? Or I might be misinterpreting exactly what that is and where its from.

I was able to fix it by switching my code to this….

$video = wp_oembed_get( 'https://vimeo.com/168256794' );
echo $video;

and then adding the code container here…

All YouTube & Vimeo Links Broken

But the code in the other forum wouldn’t fix the global $wp_embed code I had in the first post.

Hi there @psasser,

Thanks for reaching out and for following up once you could get this working!

Sorry for the hassle with embeds 🙁 Hopefully the fix for oembeds is already coded and waiting to be released next week, so hopefully this won’t be an issue for too long.

I took a look into the run_shortcode method but couldn’t see why is not working and wp_oembed_get is, but glad to hear the later works for you!

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do for you,
Best,
Nico
