Title: Post type – oembed cache Last modified: June 21, 2020 --- # Post type – oembed cache * Resolved [pocomaxa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pocomaxa/) * (@pocomaxa) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-type-oembed-cache-2/) * Hi everyone. * About a week ago I found out, that my database is filled with “post_type” = oembed cache rows. The only thing I changed a week ago was installing YOAST SEO plugin. * they consist media data from youtube or instagram, or twitter: I insert a short URL from those sites, and this new row transfers it into complete EMBED code. I’d like to stop it completely * Is there any way to stop this? * ps: I know, how to clear the base of all “oembed cache” rows, I understand, how and why they are created. I need to know, how i can stop them appearing. I sure have seen topics, where this oembed cache was discussed, but I didn’t see the answer there. * Thanks in advance. * pps: sorry for bad language, not an English language speaker.

Yoast SEO doesn’t create or modify this data, so this behavior shouldn’t change after installing Yoast SEO. * If you’d like to remove support for oEmbed or change its behavior, you can refer to the documentation here: [oEmbeds](https://wordpress.org/support/article/embeds/). * Thread Starter [pocomaxa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pocomaxa/) * (@pocomaxa) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-type-oembed-cache-2/#post-13016558) * Thanks for your kind and quick answer. * I understand, that that social media cache was added as a very important feature to wordpress. I am sorry to not add all the details. * Previously that information was stored to WP_POSTMETA table. Since last week it’s being added to WP_POSTS table. Rows with post_type OEMBED_cache. * And yes, without the plugin that information won’t added to WP_POSTS table. * Best regards and thanks again for you quick answer. * [Pcosta88](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pcosta88/) * (@pcosta88) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-type-oembed-cache-2/#post-13019889) * Hi, * To clarify, you have Yoast SEO v14.3 on your site. You then add a video to a post. A row for this video appears in your WP_Posts table. * If you disable the plugin and go to add a video on different post no row appears for it in the WP_Posts table? * If so, we would like some more information. * 1. Are you using our Video SEO plugin? * 2. Are you using any other kind of Video plugin to help embed videos? * 3. Are you using any kind of pagebuilder plugin like Elementor or Divi? * 4. Are all your non-Yoast plugins and themes updated? * Thread Starter [pocomaxa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pocomaxa/) * (@pocomaxa) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-type-oembed-cache-2/#post-13023813) * Hello and thanks for your kind answer. * You are absolutely correct about what happening: adding URL from youtube, instagram or twitter triggers a new row to WP_Posts. Previously oembed information was stored in WM_Postmeta table (two rows – content and date) * 1 and 2. No video plugins 3. no pagebuilder. Also i’m using classic editor with no “visual” editor option 4. everything is up to date. * thanks again and best regards * Thread Starter [pocomaxa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pocomaxa/) * (@pocomaxa) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-type-oembed-cache-2/#post-13042645) * To add some info. * First all Youtube links were oembedded to wp-postmeta [https://imgur.com/tfZpnJF](https://imgur.com/tfZpnJF) * Then, a bit later they were oembedded to wp-posts [https://imgur.com/4o1ehuG](https://imgur.com/4o1ehuG) * Doesn’t happen, when I turn the plugin off. * [Priscilla Chapman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/priscillamc/) * (@priscillamc) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-type-oembed-cache-2/#post-13043314) * Thanks for the information. If you’re seeing that the oEmbed behavior has changed after installing Yoast SEO, that might be a bug. We’re actively using the bug tracking on our GitHub repository so your best next step would be to create a new issue for our developers at https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/ new. * You will need an account to create a new issue.

I’ll try to totally reinstall it and then, if it happens again, send report to github.
