WordPress adding dnt parameter to embedded video | WordPress.org

Hoping someone can help.

I have a Vimeo video embedded on a page using the URL provided by Vimeo.

Wordpress seems to be adding the parameter dnt=1 to the Video url which means that Vimeo can’t display stats correctly.

Here’s a link showing where WordPress is adding the parameter

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/41345

Vimeo support say that they have contacted WordPress to request that they don’t add this parameter but they don’t know if or when WordPress will do this.

Hoping someone can suggest a way to stop this parameter from being added to the Vimeo code.

Thanks,
Mark.

There’s a filter for that. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disabling-do-not-track-for-oembeds/

Because it can be filtered, I would doubt that WP core devs will take it out due to privacy implications, that it will be left to plugin devs to deal with. Entirely speculation on my part, I’ve little interaction with core devs.

Hi!

So, where do you insert the code:
```
function dl_oembed ( $provider, $url, $args ) {
  if ( strpos( $provider, 'vimeo.com' ) !== false)
     $provider = remove_query_arg( 'dnt', $provider );

  return $provider;
}
add_filter( 'oembed_fetch_url', 'dl_oembed' );
```
To make this work?

This is not working for me, dnt=1 still shows when I inspect the code
