    WP 5.3
    PHP 7.2.* (imagick module not installed)
    twenty-sixteen

    YouTube embeds stopped working in 5.3 in the visual editor (only the link is displayed, no iframe)

    the method used to embed (insert, text editor, paste URL) doesn’t matter

    the editor itself doesn’t seem to matter as both gubenberg and tinymce fail to display the iframe

    test with all plugins disabled, WP cache and browser cache cleared

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    as i said in my opening post, i’ve tried that

    Try to embed this code and let me know the result.

    <object data="”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue7TfmQNBQA”" width="”400″" height="”315″"></object>

    after removing the fancy quotes from your sample…

    <object data="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue7TfmQNBQA" width="400" height="315"></object>

    … the result is a generic gray object box in the TinyMCE visual editor – if i publish the post, the media is there and there’s a lot of HTML when i look at the source code for the media, but there’s no video in my browser, nor is there an HTML frame (iframe) from youtube
