 * Few days ago, this was working fine. Site was still running on old WordPress 
   5.4.x Then I updated all my plugins, theme, and then WordPress to 5.5.3. Now 
   I can see that embedded posts on a page are not showing up properly.

 * Theme I am using is Themegrill ColorMag. Before update, this page was showing
   posts featured images, not it doesn’t. Links do not work. Tried from different
   browsers and computer/mobile. Looking at page source, links are marked as “restricted”.
 * When I edit the page, use the preview in new tab, links are working. When I save
   and look as normal user, they don’t. But right click and open in new tab works.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fembedded-wordpress-posts-not-working-anymore%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * It looks like the links in those embedded posts are using target=”_top”, which
   would make it open in the top-most frame. However, frames are obsolete now, so
   the links aren’t going to do anything.
 * I don’t know that theme, but if there’s a setting on those embeds so the links
   open in a new tab, that should do it.

 * Are you using [Embed Post](https://wordpress.org/plugins/embed-post/) plugin?
   Or something else?

 * I always thought that it is native WordPress (gutenberg) embedding system, I 
   never installed any plugin just to do that. If it’s not, I have some other plugins
   that might put it there, like Elementor, EA, Youtube embed etc.
 * I have no idea how this worked before, but when I look at HTML now, it is:
 *     ```
       <figure class="wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-perforum"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
       https://www.perforum.info/1-relativna-lokacija--izvorni-princip-permakulturnog-dizajna/
       </div></figure>
       ```
   
 * It might be somehow related to this issue:
    [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-1-2-creating-wp-block-embed-2/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-1-2-creating-wp-block-embed-2/)
 * But anyway, until I found why this is happening and how to fix it, I have installed
   plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-pages/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/insert-pages/)
 * I need to rewrite the page from initial post to look as I prefer, luckily there
   is only one page created with that style on whole site.
