When the `embed whitelist selector` site setting is not configured you will often get the correct post content pulled to Discourse. It depends on the content of the embedded post. For example, I create a lot of test posts with the content “This is a test, this is only a test.” Discourse is not able to retrieve that post content from my WordPress site unless I configure the setting. If I create a longer post, Discourse finds the correct content when the `embed whitelist selector` setting is not configured.
