All plugins I tried failed except ""Awesome Tweet Embedr"". Today I discovered that the same tweet fails to load in my new blog and the ""Awesome Tweet Embedr"" seems to have vanished. I investigated further and found the root cause. I have a fully updated multi-site system. Below is a sample tweet from my personal twitter. (generated by http://www.iemoji.com/ ) https://twitter.com/MortimerCatTwit/status/458345511951409152 I add it to my blog as a single line (nb it also fails if I use [embed}). When I view the post, it works. The emoji icons are replaced with a small box, but that is not a major issue. When I refresh the page, or whenever I look at the page again, all that appears is the tweet text up to the first icon. All the formatting has disappeared. Here is my reproduction of the problem. It appeared as expected on the first viewing, but is broken on subsequent viewings. http://yeogle.com/2014/04/21/testing-emoji-wordpress/ Looking at the HTML page source, I can see that whatever function Wordpress uses to process the tweet, it gives up at the first icon. The immediate fix would be for Wordpress to display a correctly formatted tweet - displaying the Emoji icon is not a priority. Whilst researching the problem, I have seen others on various forums asking about non-working tweet. They normally get a response of ""its working for me"". I suspect that this intermittent problem will explain some of those. " defect (bug) closed normal Embeds 3.9 normal duplicate
