 * Hi [@forcesail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forcesail/),
 * Thanks for using Shortcoder.
 * I could not understand the issue you have described.
    Embed shortcode is not 
   provided by shortcoder.
 * Can you please share the “full shortcode content” you have created and how you
   are inserting the shortcode in your posts ?
 * Thanks,
    Aakash

 * Shortcode:
    <meta itemprop=”embedUrl” content=”[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%%V%%&#8221](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%%V%%&#8221);/
   > [embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%%V%%[/embed]

 * Hi [@forcesail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/forcesail/),
 * I looked at the how `embed` shorcode works.
 * It is designed to work only on post content and text widget for some reason.
 * [https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/6a163e199a236a6ddff18ceefc3931ee8b25a310/wp-includes/class-wp-embed.php#L32](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/6a163e199a236a6ddff18ceefc3931ee8b25a310/wp-includes/class-wp-embed.php#L32)
 * You can add this below code to your site to make it running everywhere.
 *     ```
       function manual_wp_embed(){
   
           $wp_embed_sc = $GLOBALS['wp_embed'];
           add_shortcode( 'embed', array( $wp_embed_sc, 'shortcode' ) );
   
       }
   
       add_action( 'init', 'manual_wp_embed');
       ```
   
 * Thanks,
    Aakash

 * Already valued it!
    I suppose it’s the #1 shifting wp ability plugin! It’s like
   macros in assembler. It’s imposible to underestimate!
