I created a simple template with Visual Composer for new posts: title, text block, plus five HTML block with text blocks below. When I went to open a new post, it opened up fine. But after I started entering things it stopped showing them in Visual Composer — it literally only shows two empty boxes. In Classic Mode and Preview it shows what I did. Is there by any chance a glitch with VC in general that just occurred?
Update: More specifically:
I’ve created a template in VC that includes raw HTML blocks. I’m pasting in ebmbed code from Instagram. It seems to work fine until I hit “save draft.” At that point it stops showing everything I’ve done in VC. It still shows up in Classic Mode. Could it be that the Instagram HTML is somehow messing with VC?
Another update: This problem is not occurring if I create a new post and add text blocks. It seems to be the Instagram code messing with it. I tried posting it in as raw Javascript and the same problem happened. Anyone else had this problem with Instagram and VC?
So I got the Instagram post to show up in my post just by pasting the URL into a text block. I guess that the HTML embed interferes with VC…
Hello,
Make sure you are using the right embed technique as shown here: https://instagram.com/developer/embedding/
and here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/instagram/instagram-images/.
This is the way wordpress handles instagram embeds. just paste the link in your post/page in classic mode and make sure it has its own line. http://screencast.com/t/OoLQdCNz
The result: http://screencast.com/t/lOd7EehxM
Use the URL directly, not the shortcodes.
Thank you.
