* Can you provide some more detail?
* What code have you added and what should it look like, when working?

* This is the code:
* It should appear as a ferry booking form that you can enter your dates and it
takes you to the booking site.
* I added it as a Custom Field called CODEletsferry and I put it inside my post
as instructed by the plugin {{CODEletsferry}}. I even published the page with
this code in it but nothing comes up in it, just blank space.
* First time I’m trying to add JS to my site so I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

* That code isn’t appearing on that page at all.
* You’re not using any page builders, are you? I assume `{{CODEletsferry}}` is
being added to a standard post edit screen?

* I do use Elementor but I’m not using it on this specific post. This post was
built using wordpress. And yes, it’s added in the standard post edit screen
* thanks!

this issue?

* Ok, so can you tell me what’s in both the fields in the custom fields section?
What’s in the name and value fields?

* And you have `{{CODEletsferry}}` in the post editor?
* Can you do me a favour and disable the Code Embed plugin? When you view the post
on your site (i.e. not in the editor) can you now see `{{CODEletsferry}}` appear?

* I was hoping you wouldn’t say that!
* Okay, I need you to download and install and older version of the plugin – v2.3.2,
more specifically. You can find it here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-embed-code/advanced/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-embed-code/advanced/).
* Please install that and let me know once thats up and running. It should still
not work, as is now, but will add some extra information to your page source
that I could do with.

* I assume you can no longer see `{{CODEletsferry}}` on the page now?
* Is the original example page still valid? i.e. [https://stayclosetravelfar.com/best-tips-spots-for-santorini-pictures/](https://stayclosetravelfar.com/best-tips-spots-for-santorini-pictures/)

* Thanks.
* So, so one of two things is happening…
* 1. The plugin is erroring and failing before the output is written out. But this
seems unlikely – it takes the code (i.e. `{{CODEletsferry}}`) and replaces it
with your script. If it was failing, that code would still be there.
2. Something
outside the control of my plugin is modifying page content.
* Right now it looks like the latter but I have no idea knowing what.
* That plugin version you installed adds HTML comments around the output and they
aren’t appearing either – I was wondering if my plugin was just writing out empty
content for some reason but, if this was the case, we’d still see the comments.
* You may want to try and age-old trick of switching off all other plugins to see
if that cures it and, if not, temporarily switching to a different theme for
the same reason.
