    Hello,

    When I try to Add Media > embedding video from url with the frontend form, which results in adding [embed] shortcode into the content, the shortcode doesn't render, just an empty paragraph tag is visible in the browser's inspect tool.

    How can I enable it to be rendered on the frontend?

    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Are you using the WYSIWYG field? I don't see the [embed] added to this field value, it adds the HTML tag <img>. However, you can follow the documentation to render the shortcode in the field content
    https://docs.metabox.io/fields/wysiwyg/#template-usage

    I couldn't make this work. I am showing the {{ post.content }} in a view.

    However, I made a shortcode with something like:

    	global $post;
	$content = apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_content( $post->ID ) );

	return $content;

    following comments on this page and it works, the [embed] shortcode renders on the page.

    Hello,

    I can see that issue on my demo site. The video embedded is not rendered in the frontend. I'm escalating this issue to the development team to fix it. Thank you.

    Thank you.
    I forgot to mention I use the WYSIWYG field, with

    'raw' => true,
'options' => [
	'wpautop' => false,
]

    But I tested with with disabling raw option as well.

    Anyway, custom WB shortcode for now solved the issue.
