I’m trying to get this iframe to work in a post at my forum, but I’m having some issues.

Here is the iframe:

`<iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/26030694/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/0d4d8c/" height="90" width="100%" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe>`

I’ve tried adding the domain “[libsyn.com](http://libsyn.com)” to the whitelist, but still nothing is working.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello @BCHK,

I identify two issues.

Your iframe URL starts with `//html5-player.libsyn.com` whereas you added the domain `libsyn.com`.  
Adding a domain in the **allowed iframes** doesn’t automatically allow the related subdomains.

The protocol is also important.  
Adding `https://html5-player.libsyn.com` won’t work because your iframe URL starts with `//` without specifying the protocol.

In order to properly allow this iframe to be embedded, you need to allow the following iframe:

`//html5-player.libsyn.com`

The second issue is that your iframe has the attribute `width="100%"`. The attribute `width` only accepts numerical values (that will be rendered as pixels, not percentage or another unit).

If you want the iframe to use the full post width, set a high numerical value like `width="1000"` without specifying any unit.

* * *

In brief:

- Add this allowed domain: `//html5-player.libsyn.com`

- In the iframe attributes, replace `width="100%"` with `width="1000"`

Here’s the result:
