Hey all – I’m using the oembed field to show videos, and it does not seem to be working as expected for wistia. Here are some notes:
– youtube videos are working as expected
– I can see in the console that an iFrame is being pulled from the oembed URL provided by wistia. But it’s not displaying anything
– if i drop the provided oembed code from wistia into a normal visual editor field it works fine.
Anyone else having a problem?
Hi @jrstaatsiii
Could you please share a video URL from Wistia so I can test it out?
Keep in mind that WordPress oEmbeds feature doesn’t support all URLs. This page should give you more idea about it: https://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds#How_Can_I_Add_or_Change_Support_For_Websites.3F.
You can also use wp_oembed_get() to get the video manually.
I hope this helps.
Hi @jrstaatsiii
I’m afraid I can’t show the video in my installation because of some sandbox flag errors.
Maybe you can try to use the wp_oembed_get() function like this:
<?php $embed_code = wp_oembed_get( 'https://thedropp.wistia.com/medias/p5egqo189g' ); echo $embed_code; ?>
If it’s working on your end, then you can add the video URL using a URL field type and then use that code to show the video.
I hope this helps.
Hey James – Sorry for the delayed response. Does this mean that the current oEmbed field in ACF has a bug? I’d prefer to use that feature, since it shows the preview from the admin. -Rich
Hi @jrstaatsiii
Have you tried that code in your site? How was the result?
I believe it’s not a bug, but more like an unsupported feature. If you want Wistia URL to be supported, you can open a new ticket here: http://support.advancedcustomfields.com/new-ticket.
Thanks!
