upgrade 3.7.x

  • This started after upgrading to 3.7.0 and continues on 3.7.1
    I have wordpress running as the basis for several sites I maintain. In 2 of these sites I created a page with an IFRAME that loads a forum.

    On one site, the page for the forum loads as a blank page. Looking at the source the IFRAME code is there. What puzzels me is the code is identical to another site that uses an IFRAME to load a forum and it’s been upgraded as well and it does load the forum frame just fine.

    I have attempted the following already. I cleared the code from the page and resaved. Then added it back and resaved. Still no forum loading in the IFRAME.

    I have deleted the original page and recreated it from scratch. And still no forum loads. I am confused on why this is happening when other IFRAMES used on the same site work fine.

    Working forums on the https://www.rhemuthcastle.com site under the main Community page.

    Non working forums on the https://www.teara-adan.com site under the menu item of Forums.

    Opps the working iframe forum is at https://www.rhemuthcastle.com/static/

    There are other working iframes on the https://www.teara-adan.com page however. The chat page, the World Overview, Monsters page are all working iframes. Just not working for the forums.

    The problem is that the site https://www.teara-adan.com/forums/ sends the following HTTP header:

    X-Frame-Options:SAMEORIGIN

    That header says “This page can only be embedded within an iframe in another site IF it’s hostname matches my hostname”.
    In your case, the browser will refuse to display it because the forum hostname is ‘www.teara-adan.com’ and your website is simply ‘teara-adan.com’.

    Although I don’t like using iframes for things such as this, if you want to continue to do it that way, i’d remove ‘www.’ from the forums URL, or simply add ‘www.’ to the WordPress URL

    It’s unlikely this started when you updated to WordPress 3.7, but may have started if you updated the forum software at the time, or changed/upgraded your browser.

    I’ve tried it using the link of https://www.teara-adan.com/forums and teara-adan.com/forums. Both times I end up with the same result.

    And this worked fine before upgrading to 3.7.x with wordpress.

    I found the problem. Thank you very much for the help. Looks like the forums were upgraded at the same time as WordPress. Thanks for the heads up on the header.
