Onebox doesn't work for WordPress

[pfaffman (Jay Pfaffman)]

I am not a WordPress expert.

@BCHK

It works fine with URLs that include the title name, but not the URL format I have - why would that be?

Because either oEmbed or Discourse won’t read past the ?.

I’m pretty sure that if you turn on any permalinks other than “plain” your problem will be solved. It won’t hurt anything because the old ?p=xxx links will continue to work (but remember I’m not an expert, so you should check this after you turn on permalinks).

@mpalmer

Do you have an example URL that does embed properly, preferably a working version of that same page, for comparison?

Here’s one from my site:
