Links not expanding

OverseersMight is experiencing an issue where links on their website are not expanding, except for internal links. They tested the links on https://try.discourse.org and found that they expanded successfully.

Several users offered suggestions to resolve the issue:

  • Don suggested checking the /admin/site_settings/category/onebox site settings for any restrictions.
  • JammyDodger shared troubleshooting tips from the Onebox guide, including testing the site with iFramely and verifying that the onebox request has not been blocked by user-agent.
  • Jian_Jiao discovered a workaround, finding that links expand correctly when pasted directly into the text area, but not when using the ‘Link’ button on the toolbar.

Links do not expand at all on my website, except internal links. I tested it on https://try.discourse.org and all links I had on my website that didn’t expand expanded on there.
Is there a setting I should change?

Anyone have a solution? i’ve really been confused and this is the last step to launching.

Hi there,

Did you try to configure the /admin/site_settings/category/onebox site settings? Probably there is some restriction on your site.

Looked at that, couldn’t find anything.
Also sorry for the late response.

There’s this from the Onebox guide:

There may be a couple of other bits in there that might provide some inspiration too? I hope you figure it out. :crossed_fingers:

I figured out if you use the ‘Link’ button on the tool bar, the link will not expand, if you just paste the link in the text area , it works fine.
