Hi @nulldogmas
Instead of embedding the tweet by pasting the URL, please try to embed the tweet by pasting the code.
To do that, first click on the down arrow icon ˅, present in the right top corner of the tweet, and then click on the “Embed Tweet” option (https://prnt.sc/uit8te).
Once you click the option, a new tab will open where you need to click on the “Copy Code” button (https://prnt.sc/uit9g8) to copy the code.
Then go to your WordPress post/page editor and paste it like this: https://imgur.com/a/4ZjG6Wx
This should resolve your issue.
Let me know if you have any more questions, comments, or concerns. 🙂
