I have looked up most of the topics and videos regarding embedding discourse topics on a separate website and have been running into issues with this on a Wix website. All I get is an error saying : Refusal to connect On the embedding page I have gone through and added the allowed Hosts for the w…

hi @ethanjs welcome to meta :wave: i’m not certain, but i don’t think you can embed Discourse content into an iframe. my site uses the embed on our Discourse forum as the engine for the comments section of our parent site at the bottom of articles and it works quite well for us that way. this dis…

@Lillinator Thank you for the quick response back! I see. I think I saw someone mention that in one of the topics too where you can’t paste directly into a iFrame. When I paste the code directly into the site Velo by Wix is gives me an error saying “JSX expressions must have one parent element”. …

that’s because you have a code error and you are trying to return two expressions when only one is allowed somewhere. post your code and let us have a look.

code should look like this i but with your posting username and the EMBED_URL as the url of the site you are embedding to: <div id='discourse-comments'></div> <meta name='discourse-username' content='DISCOURSE_USERNAME'> <script type="text/javascript"> DiscourseEmbed = { discourseUrl: 'https…

I went ahead and created a post over in the Velo forum to see if they might know where I’m going wrong …

i take it you have read this: Wix Editor: Embedding a Site or a Widget | Help Center | Wix.com it seems they load into iframes there.

yep that’s our site :slight_smile: thanks. i’m the admin of the Discourse forum, but not the site it’s embedding to. yea i don’t see any error in your code so i wonder if it’s the wix site. it may be the other settings like allowed hosts and paths with wix. hopefully they can give you some assi…
