Embedded Media is not cached properly

[lejeunerenard]

I am embedding related media in my requests for a custom post type. When I get a cached response, the media array (post._embedded['wp:featuredmedia']) contains a copy of the array of posts I just received ( minus the _embedded property on each of the elements ).

Hi,

I can't simulate this error, as I reported it here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-with-_embed/#post-8808911

Can someone send me the files used with a dump of the database?

This may help. I am having the same problem and was able to duplicate it on this site here https://wp-api.webhostingforstudents.com with the following data.

import files

It looks like instead of getting the correct embedded content (media or author) it is getting post data instead.

I'm encountering this issue too.

@airesvsg - in your video, the bug reported here is visible at 4:53, where you select the data inside the author field. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is exactly the behaviour as described in this bug.

I think I'm having the same issue, the non-cached response contains everything we need but the cached version is coming back different. We're relying on the _embed response containing "media_details" which lists all of the images sizes and paths to the images.

The non-cached response of one of our requests contains just 2000 lines or so of JSON, whereas the exact same request when cached comes back with 50,000+ lines of JSON which means the cached response actually takes 1.5 seconds longer than the non-cached version, all the nesting looks different and no longer contains "media_details" within the "wp:featuredmedia" block so our images stop working.

I can verify we are also having the same issue.

@airesvsg Any update on this? Would a database dump help?

I'm having this issue using Angular as a front end.

After caching I lose the author object/name and just get an id:
post._embedded.author[0].name <-- missing

And my featured media is a list of posts instead of the media data.

Hope this is fixable, will be a useful plugin!

Thanks

Exact same issue. This is an absolute blocker for me. Not having featured images is terrible.

I can confirm,, ?_embed doesn't work, the embed object

"_embedded": { ... }

gets omitted from the json

[harrisrobin]

having this issue as well :(

Ok so here is how i got around it. So far seems to work.
I installed the plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-rest-api-featured-images/

and simply ignored the _embed.

@harrisrobin's response above worked for me. Had the same issue but this was a viable workaround.

[airesvsg]

I'll rewrite my plugin in the next month and I'll fix it.

Thanks

I´m currently testing to cache the full outgoing result in the rest_pre_echo_response hook and apply the cache in the rest_pre_dispatch hook. Seems to work. I also need to reset the $_GET['_embed'] = null; after applying the cache to the result to stop the embedded links to be dispatched since the embedded result is in the cached result already. If you like the solution I can make a PR. Sorry for my incorrect old reply, I deleted that one.

[jmikrut]

Any update on this fix? Still able to replicate the issue.

[firefiesta]

@ahrberg Could you show your code?

There is any solutions to this bug yet?
