I have a solution!
It is more of a work around than a direct solution, but it is simple and it works.
Copy the url of the tweet you want to embed and paste into your post. Then publish the post. To embed it, you have to then edit the post. Place your cursor at the end of the url, and hit enter.
Tweet changes to an embedded tweet. Then update the post.
Since I wasn't smart enough to figure this out myself, mad props to my main man Shep, was says he "stumbled" across it. Wonder how many he had in him at that time? 🤪
Thanks, brother.
Of all the people in the universe to figure it out, me? That doesn't even make sense. Not a bit (!!).
I think you can do it without the edit. If you paste the link and press return like you're opening it, it just does it that way. I could be wrong but I think that's the case.
Gracias, Brooksie. You're a mensch.
Tried your way v2.0 Shep. Bullseye!
I just talked to Ryan and he is still looking at the admin panel with Wix to see if he can get the tweets to automatically embed.
But for now, this works.
I can't tell you how much better I feel about the website since we figured out the embedding issue.
Holy crap, we look like a real website! Way to go, Shep!
