Gutenberg: Facebook embed block does not embed profile page.

[paaljoachim]

Describe the bug
I tested out the Facebook Embed block.

Added my own page, and received the below message.

Expected behavior
I expected to be able to embed my own Facebook page.

Test. Using.
Twenty Twenty theme.
Gutenberg plugin 7.8.1.
Desktop Server. Local site using Chrome.

@paaljoachim Currently, Facebook embeds in WordPress core do not support profiles so this is expected behavior

Here's a list of what the embed shortcode and block currently support: https://wordpress.org/support/article/embeds/#okay-so-what-sites-can-i-embed-from

To review, that's the following:

post, activity, photo, video, media, question, note

You can embed any of those items using the shortcode or block but not your profile.

An example of a post link that you can embed would be https://www.facebook.com/WordPress/posts/10157988246567911

Thanks for the feedback @JoshuaGoode

It seems the option here is to either close this issue or open a trac issue to extend the Facebook Embed to include profiles. Or perhaps this would be something to get fixed in Gutenberg?

I think this would be a core ticket @paaljoachim. Worth searching trac to see if there's already something created.
