ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT IS REALLY WEIRD:
Upon the install of the plugin, it's supposed to create a single page with the slug "discussions". However, for me, it has been creating multiple; on my previous site, it made
discussions
discussions-2
discussions-3 <-- this is the one it made the embed page be, it wouldn't even allow me to assign it to the other two!
now it's the same on my fresh install, only it just made two:
discussions
discussions-2
I'm no genius but that seems buggy to me.
And OOB fresh install nonfunctioning... why that seems to deserve some developer attention, or something! Either that or I'll be looking for a new home here: http://directory.ic.org/maps/
As far as "in the metas"... i'm just going to go with "in the page content" because that's the only place I know of where you could paste something like that.
base href forces all paths to be added to the href you set.
So I could copy and paste your entire source code, and then add base href to the metas with your root url, and then everything should display, we use base href with absoluteley every site we work on ( aside from vanilla ) but in your instance it may show bad paths because if they are not being referenced from a single point then they will fail, and you will see console errors and css errors in for eg. firebug.
Sometimes your whole setup can be cacked by bad htaccess.
OOOH within my FORUM install? not my wordpress install?
It could though be incompatible plugins
not on the fresh install we're currently playing with; no plugins other than vanilla
and native wp version.
maybe, but I'm using the most recent version, so if that were the issue the ball would be in Vanilla's court to update the plugin
HOWEVER, it's quite possible that there's something wrong with my vanilla forums intall, since I just did it myself in the standard way (make a db, drop in the files, visit the pate to install) on a server that may or may not have the right permissions or something like that set up. I'm going to try buying some forum love from vanillaforums.com and see if I can embed that. (...pending you telling me that's a good idea, so i'm not blowing cash on nothing)
Im pretty sure it does because it uses ajax. AFAIK
I am just trying to brainstorm your issue. I could be absolutely offbase here, so don't rely on anything I say ! lol
But I would ensure for TEST purposes at least, your vanilla install and wordpress install are on the same domain.
To TEST that is .. we can iron out the kinks then as we go... incidentally, do you get a vanilla dashboard with embedded versions ? if so what theme are you using ?
And while I don't fully understand the question, I can say that I certainly haven't typed {display:none} anywhere.
Something weird though; even with the Embed Iframe plugin installed, I can't display an iframe as simple as this: < iframe src="http://google.com"> no iframes</ iframe>

Maybe something with 3.3.2?
I just made a fresh install right now, and still no dice:

Try adding
<base href="http....your base url .com">In the metas

Ok. For any souls who are like me and don't know what he's talking about, this should help:

Also I'm assuming he means my WORDPRESS base url.

Page content looks like this:
Page looks like a blank page. :-(
I would personally, bet a pound to a penny, in your instance its either bad paths, or htaccess.
It could though be incompatible plugins and native wp version.
I would also ensure all folders within your forum installation have read write access as stated by vanilla installs

ok .. your NEW install ( you are iframing from a different URL )
that could be the issue.

ahem.
I'm confused; are you saying the URL of the site i'm embedding the forum INTO matters?
Even my most basic iframes weren't going through when I put them in page content, for example,
< iframe src="http://google.com"> no iframes</ iframe>So I'm going to try this plugin
Embed Iframe

btw- if its any consolation, I upload to ftp, possibly 10,000 times / day testing elements live.
So dont get disheartened

No, the only "dashboard" it gives in WP-admin is what I showed you here:
I'll try the within-the-same-domain idea.
You havent got in src code iframe {display:none;}
By any chance?

I don't fully understand the question.
But I just made another WP site within the same domain, with the same results as before:
http://connectedfamilies.org/wordpress/discussions-2/
And while I don't fully understand the question, I can say that I certainly haven't typed {display:none} anywhere.

< iframe src="http://google.com"> no iframes</ iframe>k lemme look
