On January 14th 2014 Twitter updated it’s API to force SSL on requests. This caused Twitter oEmbed API to not work in WordPress.
Despite there’s already a fix to this issue in trac you might want to fix this before an official update get’s live.
If so, here’s a snippet which you add to your functions.php ( originally published on github ) :
add_filter( 'oembed_providers', 'oembed_fix_twitter', 10, 1 );
function oembed_fix_twitter( $providers = array() ){
$providers[ '#https?://(www.)?twitter.com/.+?/status(es)?/.*#i' ] = array( 'https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/oembed.{format}', true );
return $providers;
}
Note: You might have to update all posts where oEmbed failed previously (most like posts published since Jan 14th 2014 till today) as oEmbeds are being cached in post_meta table per post.
This fix is brought to you by Parade dev team.
