Hi there,
I’ve noticed that on my excerpts for posts the YouTube URL shows before the excerpt text begins. If you check http://goingfarther.org/ you’ll see what I mean partway down the page. The first post ‘Mirror Mirror’ I’ve added text “test” to the excerpt section under the edit post. I think this only happens when I’m using Elementor. When I use the embed url in a regular wp text editor I don’t see this issue, but the WP embed stretches the video height so i’d rather use the Elementor editor.
Would something like this work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21999753/how-to-hide-oembed-links-from-wordpress-excerpt
