Base embed template — the skeleton for oEmbed post embeds.

Source: wp-includes/theme-compat/embed.php
Since: 4.4.0
Subpackage: oEmbed

Purpose

Loaded when a post is embedded in an iframe and the active theme does not include an embed.php template. This is the orchestrating template that assembles header, content, and footer.

Behavior

1. Calls get_header( 'embed' ) — loads header-embed.php.

2. Runs the WordPress loop:

   • If have_posts() is true: iterates with the_post() and calls get_template_part( 'embed', 'content' ) for each post.
   • If no posts: calls get_template_part( 'embed', '404' ).

3. Calls get_footer( 'embed' ) — loads footer-embed.php.
