    Hi there,

    I see that you’ve embedded a web story on that page in an <iframe>, not in an <amp-story-player> through one of our supported methods in the plugin. Are you using some sort of custom Elementor widget?

    Where exactly would you want an Exit button to appear and what should it do?

    The Web Stories plugin offers a Gutenberg block for embedding one or more stories, including ways to to open them in a lightbox with an Exit button.

    Exactly i use an HTML widget to integrate the story because i would to integrate the stories into the blog (it could be a good practice to integrate the stories in the blog or is better to separate its? Another problem is that when i use Gutenberg block the page switch to wordpress classic editor and i loose all page layout created with elementor…so is impossible for me to use it…

    There’s documentation on amp.dev on how to add an exit button to <amp-story-player> and attaching an event handler for it.

    Sorry to hear you’re having troubles using Gutenberg with Elementor.

    Embedding stories in blog posts is still a good a idea though.

    I assume you want to open the story in a lightbox and then allow closing that lightbox, like on this site? Then our Gutenberg block would be ideal for this, or you could try to build it yourself with the <amp-story-player> method.

    We fixed some issues with the preview in today’s 1.7.2 release, please try updating!

    Hi pascal sorry i change the layout of archive page now i want to show “x” button when i open story from archive… i don’t understand why there are so many difficultes…

    Thanks a lot for elaborating, now I understand it better!

    Unfortunately what you are looking for — adding this exit button when opening a story from the archive page – is not yet easily possible with the plugin.

    The reason is that, when you open the story from there, you are navigating directly to that story URL, e.g. https://www.parigirando.com/web-stories/cosa-vedere-al-louvre/ and you are no longer on the archive page.

    This is different from your homepage, where when clicking on the story you are still technically on the homepage, since the story only opens in a so-called lightbox.

    This way, search engines can better discover your story through the archive page. But it also means there can’t be an exit link.

    That being said, we are working on ways to improve the archive page, giving you better control over its appearance and whether the stories should open in a lightbox or not.

    There are several tickets that you could subscribe to for updates on this matter:

    Apologies for not having better news!
