Quote Links are always blocked

    Hi,
    when I use the advanced editor tools plugin to enable the classic editor, links I add there via copy-paste are automatically converted to block quotes. And these are generally blocked by embed privacy, no matter which link is in there.
    Is there any way to stop the plugin blocking quote links?

    Would be really thankful for help,
    Joscha

    (If someone knows how to disable the automatic link-to-quote conversion in the classic editor that would also be helpful)

    Hi there,

    can you please share a post content as code block here so that I can take a look at it?

    Best regards,

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I just add link links via copy-paste to the post which then get converted to quotes. What do you mean with post content?

    If you go to the page and edit it, open the editor settings by clicking on the three vertical dots and then select “Copy all blocks”. Then, paste that content here in a code block:

    When I do this it only gives me the link. Like this:

    But I need to go in the classic editor for this automatic conversion to quotes. I don’t know how this works exactly.


    The result always looks like this:

    After clicking its just a normal quote with the link in it.

    If you just post a link, WordPress automatically tries to embed it if it’s supported by the linked source (which it is in this case). This embedded website is then blocked by Embed Privacy, which works as it should. So I don’t see any problem in the plugin here.

    If you just want to link to the external page, properly format the link as a link in the editor and you’re fine.

    Yes, that’s right. But would it be possibility to whitelist certain links by adding an embed service with the domain and setting it to ‘do not block’? Because I tried it, also looked into the documentation on how to format the regex pattern, but did not find a solution that worked.

    The following regex should be sufficient:

    /pugetsystems\.com/

    Then, set this embed provider to disabled.

    Yeah, I tried exactly that. And the embed still gets blocked. Do you have any idea why this happens?

    Can you please share a screenshot with your exact settings of the embed provider you’ve added?

    It looks like this.

    That looks correct to me. Is it possible to get direct access to the site where this problem occurs?

    The site is not online yet. I don’t know a solution to make it available for you to check this.
    But that already helped me. I simply avoid links in quotes and that’s fine. ??
    So thanks for your help!

    I just re-read your initial post and now I was able to produce the issue and fix it locally. So there will be a fix for it. ??

    Ok, that sounds awesome. Thanks for the great support for this plugin!
