 * Hello, nice to meet you.
    I’d like to customize the display on WordPress about
   the oEmbed function. Specifically, it is as follows.
 * # the purpose
    I want to change the card type tweet which is automatically displayed
   when Twitter link is inserted. Typically, the image is placed at the top and 
   the text is placed at the bottom, but I want to place them in reverse.
 * Supplement
    I would like to change the behavior or display of the standard Twitter
   link without using the WordPress short code function and tag function
 * Thank you.

 * You cannot directly vary the HTML returned through oEmbed links, it is managed
   by Twitter. You might try using flexbox CSS and the [order](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/order)
   property. You might be able to use jQuery or JavaScript to manipulate content.
   I am not confident that these ideas would work well. Accessing and manipulating
   iframe content is difficult at best and maybe impossible.
 * BTW, Google did a good job with the translation. It seems to do better from certain
   languages, not so well from others 🙂

 * As you said, I attempted to change using JavaScript.
    However, I abandoned the
   choice because of the ghost called Shadow DOM. (I think Shadow DOM is a wonderful
   technology)
 * Since I can not help it, I was able to get a free design by using the short code
   function to scrape the web.
 * So I will terminate this thread.
    Thank you very much.
