My paper publishes a digital edition using Blue Toad Publishing. My boss has required me to build a website and the iframe code for our digital version MUST be prominent on the front page, preferably as a widget in the sidebar. I have chosen this theme, but I cannot get the iframe code to work. I have spent over two weeks on this problem. I have increased the memory limit of WordPress and PHP, and have tried half a dozen different plugins and modifications to code, but nothing works.
However, someone running WordPress with a different theme was able to get the code to work, so I suspect the theme has something to do with it.
This is the code I am trying to use:
<iframe width='180' height='180' src='http://www.bluetoad.com/flippingGen.php?i=349550&m=4311&ttype=standarddynamic&popup=true&h=hosts&lim=&remToolbars=true&roll=' noresize='noresize' frameborder='0' border='0' cellspacing='0' scrolling='no' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0' allowtransparency='yes'></iframe>
I have tried it in a post, in WordPress’ normal sidebar, in Visual Composer’s sidebar, using plugins like Iframely, using embed shortcode, to no success. I will supply any additional information as needed. I am using Bluehost, and when I contacted their help, they did not think they were the problem and encouraged me to increase my PHP memory limit, which I did.
This might or might not help

Hi,
Well the iframe seems to work as expected on both the main content and a sidebar created in visual composer on a split row:

It seems that the iframe works fine. Please check your site an d disable all plugins except visual composer, clear cache and reset cdn files if you use it.
Thank you!
Thank you, Bogdan B., I will try that. Is CDN files something that comes with the theme? I don’t recall coming across that term.
EDIT: Just out of curiousity, Bogdan, what browser are you using? I was finally able to get it to work of sorts using Edge, but I still can’t see anything with my primary browser, Chrome. Are you able to view it with Chrome?
OK, I’ve got it working in Chrome now. Thanks!
Hi,
I tested it on chrome. But an element should be visible across all standard browsers.
As for the cdn, that is a service you opt for or not, not theme related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network
Thank you!
