iframe in widget no longer working

  • I’m using Virtue 2.3.2. Site is https://www.lrfoodcast.com.

    Since January, I have set up my site with three widget fields below the main logo/menu header. For the first widget, I’ve always used text and posted an iframe with the link to my latest podcast. This worked wonderfully until a couple of weeks ago. Now, the widget just displays the iframe code instead of the podcast player. If I put the code in carats (<>), the podcast player shows up, but none of the other widgets display. It essentially stops everything after the podcast, including the copyright and theme information at the very bottom. Does anybody have a solution for this?

    Hey, do you have the latest version of wordpress? I would try deactivating plugins as a test. Let me know if that changes anything.

    Hey,
    Can you post your iframe code here so see?

    I don’t see it on your site?

    How are you adding widgets to the page are you using pagebuilder or a plugin so you can add a shortcode?

    Here is the code: [iframe style=”border:none” src=”https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/3216087/height/60/width/360/thumbnail/no/theme/standard&#8221; height=”60″ width=”360″ scrolling=”no” allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen]

    Technically, the widget is just a footer column (it’s just accessed through the widgets menu, I should have been more clear). I’m using a text field (on the site where it has the “under maintenance” advisory).

    Here are some screenshots of what is happening. First image is with the code showing up. Second image is using the carats, which shows the podcast but not the rest of the footer columns. https://imgur.com/QCXj2Vr,TWstDxn#0

    And I am using WordPress 4.1.

    ok, that is a shortcode?

    You should use this:

    <iframe style="border:none" src="https://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/3216087/height/60/width/360/thumbnail/no/theme/standard" height="60" width="360" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe>

    That did it!

    The code is automatically supplied from Libsyn. Thank you for showing me how to modify it.

    Let me know if you need any further information for me to document.

    Hmm, if you had a iframe plugin it would allow you to use that code but for just entering an iframe as an html code then you would use <iframe> with a closing </iframe>

    I’m having the same trouble on one of my sites. The embed code is from Wistia.

    <iframe src=”//fast.wistia.net/embed/iframe/27jtlahpai” allowtransparency=”true” frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” class=”wistia_embed” name=”wistia_embed” allowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen width=”640″ height=”388″></iframe>

    This is a great solution: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/iframe/

    Does anyone knows now if the iFrame widget is supposed to be working in WordPress?

    patrice,
    I haven’t heard otherwise. Is it not working for you? Have you tried contacting the plugin authors?
