Conflict with embeds when the theme doesn’t support post-thumbnails

  • In my theme, when I restrict post thumbnails to posts, video embeds are not working (the link is not replaced by the preview) in pages, but they work in posts.
    add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post' ) );

    I can easily fix that by adding support of post-thumbnails to all post types, but I wonder why there’s an issue like that.

    Any idea?

    Thanks for your help.

    Does this have something to do with the Unique Headers plugin? If so, in what way does it relate to the plugin and how can I assist?

    Yes, it is related to the Unique Headers plugin: the issue happen only when it is activated under specific circumstances.

    At the moment, I have solved the issue by supporting post-thumbnails for all post types.

    I’ll need to make more tests to have a better understanding, but you should be able to reproduce the issue with the following steps:

    1. restrict post thumbnails support for posts add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails', array( 'post' ) );
    2. add a YouTube link to a post (should display the video in the editor)
    3. add a YouTube link to a page (should display only the link)
    4. support post thumbnails for all post types add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );
    5. now editor should display the video in the page
