it looks like Facebook oembed support stopped working for wordpress. This is the e-mail I got from jetpack a few days ago, "Facebook and Instagram are ending support for their oEmbed API on October 24. We’re reaching out to let you know that Jetpack is taking care of this issue for you so that your embedded Facebook and Instagram posts will continue to display correctly on your site."

Is there a fix for this as I noticed Facebook embeds are not working on wpforo but it's working for Wordpress posts.

Testing FB embed and Insta embed below (looks like Instagram still works but FB doesn't. Same issue with my forum):

@flaren,

Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Addons > Embeds admin page make sure the "Embed Website URLs" option is enabled.

@astghik I just enabled it, but it only shows a snapshot of the facebook post. It doesn't embed the actual post.

I found a fix, you can download the oembed plus plugin to fix this problem.
