Hi, I’ve been trying for a while to embed Discourse comments on another site but still haven’t been able to make it work. I started following the instructions on this blog: http://eviltrout.com/2014/01/22/embedding-discourse.html and later on I found other issues, which I was able to fix with guida…

Can you provide a screenshot to your Discourse embedding settings? What is powering the backend of your blog/site? Is it static html (from a generator) or WordPress or Ghost?

@purldator here are my embed settings (sorry, I can’t embed images or link to them): embeddable hosts: ddhstaging.satapps.org feed polling enabled: {unchecked} feed polling url: {blank} embed by username: ddhdatasets embed username key from feed: {blank} embed category: Data Discovery Hub Datase…

Any pointers or ideas here would be greatly appreciated. The rails log shows that the request is received correctly: Started GET "/embed/comments?embed_url=http%3A%2F%2Fddhstaging.satapps.org%2Fdataset%2F473cdee9-565c-4a9b-99a8-e8c836837086" for 165.254.84.238 a t 2015-06-24 15:14:27 +0000 Process…

It seems that the following change broke embedding: FEATURE: Allow embedding topics without creating them, by id committed 08:24PM - 09 Jun 15 UTC (UTC) [image] eviltrout …

I don’t think so… http://discourse.codinghorror.com is on 1.4 beta 3 and as you can see the comments are embedded fine there on http://blog.codinghorror.com when you drill through to a blog entry.

If its not too much of a bother, can you create a new test blog post on blog.codinghorror.com ? I noticed that old embedded posts were showing up properly, but when you try to create a new embed, it fails.

Yes, I do see them. It only happens in Chrome, Firefox seems to work fine. Not sure if it is related to the topics not being created on the Discourse site though. [image]

I can confirm that rebuilding the Discourse site from scratch targeting v1.4.0.beta1 fixes the embedding. So it seems like some sort of regression has happened on the meantime (probably what @jqnatividad mentions).

Yep @nigelb , @amercader , I can confirm that we’re getting the same errors ourselves. It’s good to know that embedding works again when using 1.4.0beta1.

How can I troubleshoot Discourse comments embedding feature?

Do you see these error log entries too? Open the page with the comments on Chrome with the JS console open and I see them come up after some time.
