Title: Shortcode source param not working. Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Shortcode source param not working. * Resolved [creativ1ne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/creativ1ne/) * (@creativ1ne) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/) * I have “allow shortcode attributes” set to yes… I am on WordPress 3.5 with the 2.0.1 download of this plugin. I have no default url defined and am using this with no luck. * [advanced_iframe securitykey=”key#” src=”[http://www.sitename.com”%5D](http://www.sitename.com”%5D) * The plugin never picks up the src url. Just loads blank page. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-iframe/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-iframe/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385084) * I check if the attribute reading has changes in 3.5 somehow… * [quambo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quambo/) * (@quambo) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385185) * I’ve got the same issue, any idea? Thanks 😉 * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385186) * I’ll check the code tonight. So if there is a problem a update will be available tomorrow. * But for now simply add the url in the administration. * [quambo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quambo/) * (@quambo) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385187) * It works just fine in the admin area, thanks. * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385191) * I tested with * [advanced_iframe securitykey=”key” src=”[http://www.spiegel.de”%5D](http://www.spiegel.de”%5D) * and it works fine. It does not matter if I had a src in the administration or not. Allow shortcode attributes is set to “yes”. * I have tested with WP 3.5 * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385205) * This also can happen if the page does now allow you to include it in a iframe.

Sometimes if you e.g. copy the shortcode from the settings html stuff is copied as well!. * [karan81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karan81/) * (@karan81) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385260) * I checked my spellings, codes – all are fine. The shortcode just appears as it is on the page. * However the default shortcode with the default url typed in the settings, appears ok and good with perfect height. * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385261) * So if you remove the src it works? can you please post your shortcode? * [karan81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karan81/) * (@karan81) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385262) * yes if i remove src it works. Code i am usign is – [advanced_iframe securitykey =”realcodes” src=”[http://www.something.coom](http://www.something.coom) “] * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385263) * I have this like this on most of my demos because I have several iframes. So the src attribute does work on 3.4.3 for sure. Have you entered the shordcode in the plain text mode of the editor also? * I have found out that e.g. any html characters around also forces WordPress to ignore the shortcode. * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385264) * Which version of WordPress and of the plugin do you use? Maybe you have another plugin that somehow disallow certain attributes… * [karan81](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karan81/) * (@karan81) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385265) * I am using latest wordpress and your latest 3.4.3. May be it might conflict with some other plugins. * I use HTML editor while creating page and I know a bit of programming too to so I am careful using shortcodes. * Thanks anyway. By they way great plugin the auto height feature was what I was looking for. * Plugin Author [mdempfle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdempfle/) * (@mdempfle) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-source-param-not-working/#post-3385266) * Can you use the plain text editor?
