Can't embed forum. testing on bare site, still nothing.

R08

Tried on Vanilla 2.1.5 and 2.1.6
I have used the Embed Forum feature (not plugin) before with no problem, works flawless.... now I can't get it to work at all.

To make sure nothing else is interfering I have a fresh install of Vanilla (tried both 2.1.5 and 2.1.6 ) on my hosting account.
1. First thing I did after instal is changed theme to embed friendly.
2. Next I enabled embedding and copied the universal code to a blank html page. (NOT using the embed plugin).
3. I test that page out and nothing, only Vanilla logo loads.

Here is the Vanilla forum: fordevpurp.comule.com/vanilla/
Here is the embed page. fordevpurp.comule.com/test.html

What could possibly be going on?
I tried everything for hours including searches to see if someone else encountered this. I'm stuck.

Your forum returns 403 forbidden, you are not embedding fordevpurp.comule.com/vanilla/, but this:

http://preserveearth.net/vanilla/index.php?p=/&remote=http://fordevpurp.comule.com/test.html&locale=

Thanks for pointing it out. Help out but still leaves me searching.

Looking at my html file - I copied and pasted straight from the Dashboard/EmbedForum/UniversalCode screen, the only other code is inserted by hosting company "Hosting24 Analytics Code":
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://preserveearth.net/vanilla/js/embed.js"></script> <noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="http://vanillaforums.com/?ref_noscript">discussions powered by Vanilla.</a></noscript> <div class="vanilla-credit"><a class="vanilla-anchor" href="http://vanillaforums.com">Discussions by <span class="vanilla-logo">Vanilla</span></a></div> <!-- Hosting24 Analytics Code --> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://stats.hosting24.com/count.php"></script> <!-- End Of Analytics Code -->

I'll look into it some more

Here is the Vanilla forum: fordevpurp.comule.com/vanilla/

Here is the RIGHT embed page:
fordevpurp.comule.com/test2.html
< This instead of 2nd link in original post.

The code is copied from Dashboard:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://fordevpurp.comule.com/vanilla/index.php?p=/js/embed.js"></script> <noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="http://vanillaforums.com/?ref_noscript">discussions powered by Vanilla.</a></noscript> <div class="vanilla-credit"><a class="vanilla-anchor" href="http://vanillaforums.com">Discussions by <span class="vanilla-logo">Vanilla</span></a></div>

This is wrong, http://fordevpurp.comule.com/vanilla/index.php?p=/js/embed.js doesn't exist.
Change it to:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://fordevpurp.comule.com/vanilla/js/embed.js"></script> <noscript>Please enable JavaScript to view the <a href="http://vanillaforums.com/?ref_noscript">discussions powered by Vanilla.</a></noscript> <div class="vanilla-credit"><a class="vanilla-anchor" href="http://vanillaforums.com">Discussions by <span class="vanilla-logo">Vanilla</span></a></div>

I swear I copy and pasted. Took a look back into Dashboard and sure enough it displays the faulty code. Tried yours and it worked perfectly. I will watch out for that next time. Thanks @Bleistivt‌

Looks like you may have found a bug.

R08

Maybe. Still looking into it, it's not persistent.

I can confirm that this bug still exists, on the latest version i downloaded yesterday. When i changed the script link to the format that R08 suggested, i started working perfectly. Thanks!

@kneidels The fix was applied to the master branch and hasn't been backported to 2.1. You can either correct your embed code manually (using this discussion as a guide, or you can apply the patch as outlined here: https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/pull/2348/files

This fix is in 2.2.
