That would suggest that the editor is in text, rather than visual, mode. However, other reports say visual mode with these symptoms but I’ve never been able to replicate that.

This is one thing I’ve never been able to reproduce. (Aside from the time I had the editor in text mode rather than visual mode for a day. DOH!) It does only work in visual mode though.

There should be nothing you need to add. I use child themes too and it works for me. Both “old” themes and the new 2017 one. Moving the button shouldn’t change the insert behaviour.

Two Q’s I can think of:

1)What happens if (in visual mode) you type rubbish into the url box, like “asddag”? It should give you the CURL error details.

2) Do you get anything in the console log?

…and one random thought – which may not make sense – but, is there anyway that the non-working themes could be “forcing” the editor into text mode?

Hi,

Sorry there’s no API option, it’s just interactive.

If you enter the title you want first, before adding the preview, and it will not overwrite it.

If you mean you want the title, but not the h2 in the post content, that would need a mod.

Sorry, and I know this is not what you want to hear… but, this is meant to be a “link preview”, like FB links. It is meant for users to read a little, as part of the site’s own content, and then read the remote site’s content if they wish. It is not meant to replicate all/most of the source page to prevent people going off to read the source page.

Changing it to do this would go far beyond it’s purpose. It may even exceed “fair use” / “fair dealing”. As I’m in the EU, for the next 2 years anyway, our rules are a lot stricter than there.

You can, obviously, manually paste in additional content when creating your posts. With the plug-in doing the basic intro, link and image.

If you have a local coder, it should be easy enough for them to fork the source and change it to what you want. But, it just doesn’t fit with the designed purpose of the plugin. Sorry.

Just tried on, as example: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Original-Facotry-Unlocked-Apple-iPhone-5S-8MP-Camera-4-0-inches-Screen-16GB-32GB-64GB-Cellphones/32504565090.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.19.UL08iP&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_0,searchweb201602_1_10017_10040,searchweb201603_2&btsid=a5195309-cb31-4b09-b903-02eae64725ab and the title, image and description were picked up fine.

(This is in HTML DOM mode.)

Sorry, but I don’t know what else I can say. The code you’re looking at is not generated by the plugin.

I have not idea what on your system is generating the iframes, embed and secret key, but it’s not this plugin.

Do you have a post on your site that you have linked/previewed from another site? As all the posts appear to be your own content, some with links.

Hi,

The settings do have to be in place when you add the link as the HTML is written into the post body.

Changes you make to the settings will not affect posts that have already been added.

I looked at the code you posted, but it bears no similarity to the code that the plugin adds to the post. Where is it from?

The plugin, for that URL, generates the following source:
