 * Hello,
 * Instant Embedding works fine on posts, but not on pages, where I get the following
   error message: **Empty content or probably a shortcode.**
   Am I wrong somewhere?

 * Hi [@radovand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/radovand/)
 * The error message you’re encountering, “**Empty content or probably a shortcode**,”
   indicates that the content on the page might be too short or that a shortcode
   is being used.
 * To help me better understand the issue and assist you further, could you please
   share a screenshot of the edit mode of your page where you’re experiencing this
   problem?
 * Looking forward to your response so we can work together to resolve this issue.

 * Hi Seno,
 * The site is done with Flatsome theme, and I used UX Builder to edit the pages
   and posts.
   All but one post has been indexed.When indexing all pages I got the
   error “Empty content or probably a shortcode” with 2 exceptions: the “Member 
   Login” page and another one, which are unpublished pages (Draft).
 * That’s what a page code looks like:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <!-- wp:html -->

 * Hello [@radovand](https://wordpress.org/support/users/radovand/)
 * Sorry for late reply on this as I was busy with the plugin translation for couple
   of days.
 * Please note that our embedding module is currently treating shortcodes as empty
   content, which is causing the error message you’ve encountered.
 * I am actively working on updating the plugin to ensure compatibility with various
   design tools, themes, and plugins. I plan to address compatibility with the Flatsome
   theme as well. However, I cannot provide a specific timeline for when this update
   will be available.
 * In the meantime, I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate
   your patience. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate
   to reach out.
 * Best regards,

 * Hello everyone,
 * The reason for this issue is that our plugin requires the post_content field 
   to function properly. If this field contains a shortcode or is empty, the plugin
   will not process the page. I’m currently working to make it compatible with Divi
   and other third-party tools.
