Youtube embed is blocked

Asked by Emma Seymour 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Hi,

I am really struggling to successfully embed a youtube video on my site - the content is blocked. I have removed 'iframe' from the prohibited elements in tinymce editor. And weirdly if I view the video test page source from the browser, copy and paste it into a blank page on a static (non joomla) area of the site it works perfectly. So it must be either joomla, sp pagebuilder or the template causing the problem. Any ideas at all? Have I missed a setting somewhere?

I am using Joomla 4.2.8
SP page builder Pro 3.8.10
Template: shaper_helixultimate

Hi Emma.

I will check, it can be also "bug" from that video or server settings.

On one of my sites, I also still have SPPB 3.8 and Joomla 4.4 , Helix and all works.

Thanks Paul, any insight much appreciated! We haven't had problems previously, but this is a new site with J4.

I tested on Module, Article, SPPB (Video, Raw HTML), even video.html file and Chrome/Firefox - everywhere YouTube is locked.

In that case please ask hosting company ! This is not normal behavior. It must be locked on the server side. For example: mod_security settings.

Hiya, so we have got to the bottom of the youtube issue and found a solution. I've asked for an overview of the issue/resolution and have popped it in the hidden content.

BIG THX. I used that text also inside our SPPB Documenation > Troubleshooting
