Confused by Oembed tweets coming in with iframes

    I have been using WordPress’s Oembed support to bring in tweets. It’s doing something I don’t understand where, in some circumstances, it retrieves an entire Iframe resembling what we see at Twitter.com. In other circumstances it retrieves simpler HTML (which is what I want!)

    The regular HTML comes through on Chrome but the complicated IFrame (with follow buttons, images, unwanted bonus divs) shows up on Firefox.

    I wonder how to stop WordPress from getting the iframe version of tweets. I have a feeling it has something to do with changing the built-in Oembed parameters added to WordPress since about 3.4 but am not sure what to do.

    That’s good. 😉

    it retrieves an entire Iframe resembling what we see at Twitter.com.

    Can you share a link to a post that demonstrates that? The oEmbed results are filterable but an example of what you are referring to might help sort it out.

    Thanks. You know what? I upgraded to the new WordPress and it stopped happening!
