G’day all, I was wondering if Discourse supports `<iframes>`, I have been trying to embed multiple different websites into Discourse yet none seem to work. I’ve tried with Time and Date, Google Maps just to name a few without any success.

Did you add the domains to the `allowed iframes` setting?

Yes I did add the required domains for the `iframes`.

Does it work if you use [safe-mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-use-discourse-safe-mode/53504)?

`your.site.com/safe-mode`

Do you see any error in the browser console?

Are the iframes added to the post and not working or are they not added at all?

Can you share a link to your site?

Here’s the site: [https://forum-aviationforumcommunity-6985.nodechef.com/latest](https://forum-aviationforumcommunity-6985.nodechef.com/latest)

There aren’t any errors being shown and the `<iframes>` are added in fully.

They still didn’t work in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true).

Hey guys,

I can’t seem to get iFrames to work either. The onebox for youtube as an example works great, but whenever we post links they are not showing up like this:

> **[Where Tech Companies Build Communities](https://discourse.org)**
>
> The customizable, scalable community platform powering over 22,000 communities. Create knowledge through conversation.

I can see a loading circle to the left of a link when composing a post, but it ultimately just displays the actual link and not the iframe.

I checked a few other threads and have tried suggested troubleshooting (accessed the site in [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true), added specific domains to the allowed iframes admin setting) but NO links are becoming iframes.

Could there be another setting in the admin that is preventing this from working properly?
