34115	oEmbed not working on author page without posts	dannydehaan	swissspidy	"Hi All.

We're working on a project for a client at the moment. It's a content publishing platform. They have multiple authors. all with their own detail page. At the profile edit page, they can fill their biography, they can also insert a youtube link. 

At the front-end, we disply the biography as:

{{{
<?php echo apply_filters( 'the_content', get_the_author_meta( 'description' ) ); ?>
}}}

The strange thing is, that when they have authored one post, the oEmbed class does the job perfectly, but, when they don't have authored any post, the oEmbed doesn't work. 

I've looked inside the core and that led to the file ""wp-includes/class-wp-embed.php|"" at line 181. It checks if there's a post, when not, it's not embedding.

When i delete this line, it works for authors without and with posts."	enhancement	closed	high	4.9	Embeds	2.9	normal	fixed	has-patch has-unit-tests commit		template, performance
