Preview box for embedded link not working
-
After the last WordPress update, the preview boxes stopped generating for embedded links on my published posts. In the block editor, I often use the WordPress embed to highlight and link relevant posts on my site.
When I am in the block editor, the preview box is generated for the embedded post, however when I go to the published post, the preview box does not appear – only a hyperlink appears.
I would like to have the preview boxes appear on the published post as they did before the update. How do I resolve this? You can see an example of this on this page if you scroll down. The heading reads ‘Should you be interested…’ and where the embed preview box should appear, there is now only a hyperlink.
Thank you,
Jennifer-

Please don’t post in the Alpha/Beta forum unless you’re actually testing the alpha/beta version of WordPress (not a plugin or a theme). Also, once WordPress has released a version, it’s not appropriate to post in alpha/beta and you should post in the Fixing WordPress forum:

Just to be certain here, you’re embedding links back to your own posts?
My apologies for starting the discussion in the wrong place. Yes, I am embedding links back to my own posts because I want to highlight related content on the site. I realize there is a “related posts” section that comes with the Jetpack (and my purchased theme), but I do not have control over which posts are highlighted there, nor their number.
