@paulamit I’m back again! ELementor didn’t want to play ball either, but now I have Gutenberg working OK – but when I use the embedpress embed block, I put in a PDF url of a PDF on the same website it says, sorry we could not embed that content!! I’m nearly there! Is there a specific format it needs to be in, or not on the same website perhaps? SO near yet so far ….

Ah, that doesn’t meet my requirement at the moment then, which is a shame as the site I need it for uses Divi. I guess I could just use Elementor on these pages as Gutenberg isn’t playing nice.

@paulamit I tried a Youtube link, that worked but my #1 need is to display pdf files. Will it work at all? Thanks

Thanks @paulamit – it looks in your video as you just pasted the link and it picked it up as an embed? I am needing to display pdfs so I just cut n copied the link in classic editor and it just, well showed the link!! Am I missing something at the beginning of the video that you click on to indicate the link should be embedded?

Ditto, Divi, no Gutenberg! Although I have other sites where they play nice, not foudn a solution yet!

Have checked, has write permissions already, any other ideas? Thanks

Thanks, I will try that, could be security preventing that access but I will check the permissions anyway.

Now that’s an idea – I could install the Divi Page builder? Or is there one recommended for use with Virtue?

I was looking last night to see if there were other sections that could be bent to contain plain content so could give the widget a go.

Thanks for the suggestions, if you know of a good page builder to use with Virtue that would be handy to know ??

Am in the same position. Are we OK to continue use? Right now my staging site is on the latest WordPress and the main site is not!!

Thanks Rene, I have emailed.

Thanks Rene, good to know for the future, but it did finish eventually and all working brilliantly now ??

I had the same problem, multiple times. I put it down to puny server speed and capability so downtuned WP Staging, excluded the backup plugin directory and ran it overnight whilst server was quiet. Took nearly 6 and a half hours but it did do it!
