Pro video element not displaying Embed code coming from Custom Meta key

[Misho]

Hi!

I have tried to build a layout for the Video Post format. Pro displays the Video embed field below such post, which is tied to this meta key: {{dc:post:meta key="_x_video_embed"}}

I have placed this Meta data inside the Pro video player, and it shows the video inside the Content editor. However, on the front-end it shows the embed code, not the video.

Thanks!

EDIT: I have tried to load the _x_video_embed content inside the Content Area element, and the same thing happened. The expected behaviour is for the embed code to be rendered, not displayed.

Can you please provide login credentials for your site in a secure note to examine it further, including:

– WordPress Site URL & Login URL
– The Page URL where you have added this code
– WordPress Admin username/password

Hey @Misho,

I have replicated what you described and I’ll post this in our issue tracker.

For now, please use ACF HTML. I tested this and it works.

Thanks.

Hi @Misho,

Hope you’re doing well. I know I’ve still got to get to your other tickets but while checking the backlog I saw this and can confirm it’s addressed in 4.1.0. The problem is that when the post is saved _x_video_embed gets sanitized and isn’t valid HTML until it’s output. I’ve added a filter in front of dynamic content to do a similar operation and make sure it gets decoded.
