[Support request] not showing (youtube videos, google maps)

[Vera]

Hi,
I noticed that for some reason embedded google maps and youtube videos don’t show on my site. Can you please have a look?
Thanks a lot!

And this isn’t a case on all posts, just on some.

Hi there,

the embed is empty – which usually means the server is not being reached – have you checked the videos URLS are correct ?

[Vera]

Hi David,
yes, I did, both, video and the map are ok. I see them and I also perfectly see them on my drafted post in German. Any other idea?
Thanks for your help!

[David]

Which translation plugin are you using ? Have you checked with their support ?

[Vera]

I am using WPML. But, I never had these issues with other themes. Since I switched to Generatepress (which I love, btw), I have these issues, but you guys always turn me to yet another plugin developer. If it was a plugin issue, wouldn’t it be happening with other themes as well and not only with Generatepress? Can you please (please) look into the page and try to figure out what’s causing it (thinking that maybe it has something to do with Generatepress).
I would appreciate a lot.
Thank you in advance for all your help.

Other posts like https://www.frankaboutcroatia.com/split-croatia/ display embedded Google map without any problem. So I don’t think it has anything to do with the WPML plugin.
Thanks

GP doesn’t do anything to interfere with content being rendered on the front end. I searched from WPML embed not displaying on translated pages and several topics have been raised by others.

Of them this one received a working fix:

https://wpml.org/forums/topic/video-audio-embed-code-or-content-translation/

Maybe that helps?

I will check when I am at my desk. However, I don’t have a problem with translated content, that works fine. I have a problem with original post that I haven’t had before using GP. And it happens only on certain posts, not all. It happens with Google maps and not only with videos.
Thanks!

Videos and Maps are both added using an embed/iframe function. So the two problems are related.
GP doesn’t have any involvement with your posts content. It doesn’t know you have added an iframe and doesn’t do anything that would effect its display.

My thoughts towards it being a possible WPML issue is purely because a. the iframe displays in one language and not another and b. there are some other users who have experienced a similar issue.

On that topic the support person replies with this:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/video-audio-embed-code-or-content-translation/#post-2530259

I am not a WPML user so i cannot say whether that is something related or not – but maybe its worth checking ?

The other thing to check is if there are any other plugins that may be conflicting.

[Vera]

Thanka, David! I’ll try to figure it out.

You’re welcome. Let us know if you find an answer

Hi David,
I have found what’s causing <iframe> to go blank, but I don’t know how to stop that happening.

It seems that TinyMCE adds a weird code within <iframe> tags. the code is:

<span data-mce-type=”bookmark” style=”display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;” class=”mce_SELRES_start lazyload”></span>

Once when I deleted it, the embedded content shows up.
Do you know how can I prevent TinyMCE of doing it?
Thanks!

[David]

I am afraid i do not know what would be causing that or how to stop it.
You may want to check for other plugin conflicts first before asking on the WordPress forums
