Hi @cookingkatielady! I took a look at your site and also experienced the issue with “By Course” not expanding properly. After poking around for a bit, I noticed that the sections (Breakfast, Main Course, etc) are all being loaded into the page, they just aren’t being shown when you hover over that menu item. That’s an important distinction because if the elements didn’t exist on the page at all that might mean it’s a different issue.

I took a look at the styling for the theme you’re using, and I noticed it has the following lines:

#nav-wrapper .vtmenu .menu-item-has-children:hover > .sub-menu {
    visibility: visible;
    opacity: 1;
    transform: translateY(0);
}

That is styling which effectively says “if this menu item has children (subpages), make it visible when the user hovers over it”. When I load your webpage, I see the following (some links removed to save space):

<ul role="menu" class="sub-menu">
	<li id="menu-item-6554" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-6554 dropdown"><a href="#">By Course <span class="caret"></span></a>
	<ul role="menu" class="sub-menu">
		<li id="menu-item-6558" ><a href="https://cookingkatielady.com/category/breakfast/">Breakfast</a></li>
		<li id="menu-item-6571" ><a href="https://cookingkatielady.com/category/snacks-and-appetizers/">Snacks & Appetizers</a></li>
        ...
	</ul>
</li>
	<li id="menu-item-6555" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-has-children menu-item-6555 dropdown"><a href="#">By Method <span class="caret"></span></a>
	<ul role="menu" class="sub-menu">
		<li id="menu-item-6557" ><a href="https://cookingkatielady.com/category/air-fryer/">Air Fryer</a></li>
		<li id="menu-item-6559" ><a href="https://cookingkatielady.com/category/crock-pot/">Crock Pot</a></li>
        ...
	</ul>
</li>
	<li id="menu-item-6556" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-has-children menu-item-6556 dropdown"><a href="#">By Diet <span class="caret"></span></a>
	<ul role="menu" class="sub-menu">
		<li id="menu-item-6563" ><a href="https://cookingkatielady.com/category/high-protein/">High Protein</a></li>
		<li id="menu-item-6566" ><a href="https://cookingkatielady.com/category/low-carb/">Low Carb</a></li>
        ...
	</ul>
</li>
</ul>

Note that both the “By Method” and “By Diet” sections have the menu-item-has-children class, but “By Course” does not! I actually tried adding that class to the “By Course” section on the page for myself locally and it worked exactly as expected.

All that to say, I think it might be because there is something misconfigured with the “By Course” menu item. Do you mind checking in the nav menu settings to ensure it looks exactly like the other two (currently working) sections? This can be found under Appearance > Menus > (your navbar menu name).

Hope this helps!

Hi @thilipdonmax29! According to the WP_Query documentation around taxonomy queries, it looks like the relation field says the following:

The logical relationship between each inner taxonomy array when there is more than one. Possible values are ‘AND’, ‘OR’. Do not use with a single inner taxonomy array.

In the query you supplied, your value for relation is IN (which does not appear to be one of the allowed values) and additionally you are using it with a single inner taxonomy array. I would recommend removing the relation mapping altogether for this search.

Additionally, in the inner taxonomy array you’re also using 'operator' => 'OR'. The documentation for operator states:

Operator to test. Possible values are ‘IN’, ‘NOT IN’, ‘AND’, ‘EXISTS’ and ‘NOT EXISTS’. Default value is ‘IN’.

It does not appear that OR is an allowed option there either, so I’d recommend removing that parameter as well. Hope that helps!

I see, what do you mean by “video reproducer”?

I’m sorry to hear that! Just to be clear, are you still seeing 404 errors with the Instagram link you’re trying to use, or a different error? Would you be able to share a screenshot of the behavior you’re seeing?

Hi @stephenetta! Taking a look at the source code, it appears that this error is thrown when a user does not have edit_posts permissions: https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/classes/wp_oembed_controller/get_proxy_item_permissions_check/. Can you confirm that you have that permission for the post you’re trying to add an embed to?

It seems that this may also be a misleading error, since that response is always shown when you try to visit the proxied URL in the browser (see the “Side Note” section on this issue). You also mention that you are getting a 404 on an IG embed – url= link doesn’t appear to exist for me, which may be the underlying issue (especially since we see the same 401 error for an address like yahoo.com). Can you double check the Instagram URL you’re trying to embed?

Lastly, I notice this note on the WordPress embeds documentation:

Facebook and Instagram: Due to Facebook’s decision to close the oEmbed end point for embedding Facebook and Instagram links, the block will not work anymore after October 24, 2020. To embed Facebook and Instagram links into your site, you need a developer account and an appid, and provide an authentication token with their call to the endpoint. Refer to the Facebook Documentation.

You may also be running into that as the issue. Let us know if any of this helps!

Hi @gillespieza! It seems like there are a number of places that this could go awry unfortunately. One appears to be a possible discrepancy between DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE and the record in the wp_blogs table. Do you mind checking to confirm that these values are the same? Here’s a quick description on how to do that, and a more thorough guide for checking all locations to ensure the URLs are correct. Hopefully this helps, but let us know if these values are all ready consistent and have the protocol where necessary!

Fantastic! If your question has been answered, we would love if you would mark this topic as resolved in the sidebar. This helps our volunteers find the topics that still need attention and more people will get helped, possibly like you did.
