posterboard only shows 'loading' and no events

[Sharon McErlane]

Hi ,

On our website ‘netoflight.org’ , we have been using posterboard for a couple of months now. However since a few weeks , it doesn’t show the events on our main page where the posterboard shortcode has been entered into a widget.
It works fine in google chrome, but doesnt in IE11 and safari on iphone.

This is the code used:

<

div id=”events” style=”width:80%;margin:auto;padding-top:85px;”>

<

div class=”section-title-wrapper” style=”margin-bottom:0px;”>

<h2 class=”main-title”>Events</h2>

[event_board showpastevents=”false” ]

However I have also tried simply using [event_board] and it doesn’t make any difference….

Calling the same code from a ‘page’ works fine…

can you please help ?
WP 4.6.1
event-organiser-pro 1.11.8
posterboard 3.0.1

thx

Are you getting any javascript errors in the browser console on IE?

yes, but don’t know if they are related…

Thanks Sharon,

Yes, I think it is. From what I can see the front-facing part of the site is http://netoflight.org but the admin URL is http://www.netoflight.org. Now, your server is configured only to allow requests from the same origin (domain) – and for that purpose, http://www.netoflight.org and http://netoflight.org should be considered different domains.

You’ll either need to loosen that policy, or you’ve probably got two different URLs in your Settings > General (one for the ‘home’ url and ‘site’ url’) – which differ by the www.. Updating them so they’re consistent should fix the issue.

As an aside, whether browsers implement the cross-domain policy depends on the version, and the user preferences. I used IE11, and I got warnings, but I still got the content (it must have been configured to allow cross-domain requests).

Hi Stephen,

Yes, I have changed the site address to ‘netoflight.org’ now and that seems to solve the issue.

However it made me realize that we might have another issue with the other URL pointing to this same website. http://www.grandmothersspeak.com and grandmothersspeak.com .
When using those, I still have the same issue and in all browsers this time…

Any tips on how I can support these additional URLs ?

Thanks
