Cannot get vertical scrollbars

    I have tried and tried to get the vertical scrollbar to show up on my “show part of iframe” iframe. I can get the horizontal scrollbar to show up, but not the most crucial one which is the vertical scrollbar.

    I have tried checking and unchecking all the scrollbar related boxes. If I enable scrollbars, then choose enable horizontal scrollbar= “no” and enable vertical scrollbar= “yes” it does not work.

    I want to have only part of the iframe to show up, but I want users to be able to scroll down and see the rest of it, but not be able to scroll to the right or left.

    What am I doing wrong or do we need an upgrade?

    Have you checked the demo of the pro version? There is an example:
    https://www.tinywebgallery.com/blog/advanced-iframe/advanced-iframe-pro-demo#e5

    And don’t mix the scollbars of the iframe with the scrollbar of the “Show only part of the iframe” feature. These are different ones. You need to have the iframe be big enough not to have any scrollbars and than “cut” out the window you want to show and where to enable the scrolling.

    I looked at the demo, but am having trouble assimilating it. Sorry.

    When you say “You need to have the iframe be big enough not to have any scrollbars and then ‘cut’ out the window you want to show” What do you mean?

    How would I set that up in the Advanced iframe Pro administration page?

    Since I want just a vertical scrollbar, would I set it up this way:

    1. Scrolling: No.
    2. Then map out the area I want using the Area Selector
    3. Then Enable Horizontal Scrollbar: No with Enable Vertical Scrollbar: Yes

    I’ve done this, and all I seem to get is a horizontal scrollbar.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    The iframe you only want to show a part of needs to be fully shown. Otherwise you get a scrollbar from the iframe and not from the div that cuts out a part.

    And what are the problems with the example? you could actually simply use the shortcode there and adopt the numbers.
    Or you go to the area selector und use the shortcode provided there and simply add: show_part_of_iframe_allow_scrollbar_vertical=”true”

    If you use the administration make sure to enable the features after the selection. The radio is not select automatically. I’ll add this in the next version.

    Michael,

    Are the values I put in the Administration panel saved somewhere? For example, how does Advanced iFrame remember what settings I made for one webpage when I replace the values in the administration panel with settings for a another webpage?

    Sure. they are saved in the wordpress database the default way plugins store their settings.
