| 1 | | I wonder, since these oembed cached values are designed to time out, why are we not using transients to keep the cached oembed more universally? |
| | 1 | It appears that there is an alternative to post_meta that is invoked when WP_Embed is used without a $post_ID. In those cases, the embed is cached as an "oembed_cache" post_type in the wp_posts table. This seems like what should happen when embeds are included in widget areas. |

| | 3 | Maybe one approach would be to have the embed block never pass along the post ID to WP_Embed, which would force all these cached items into the posts table? Or at a minimum, to not include the post ID when it is being used anywhere outside of post_content? |
