URL not working
-
I installed this plugin today and it is not working for URL’s.
I have hosting through SiteGround.
I’m getting error message: “Timeout waiting for output from CGI script”

Hi,
So, yeah, the script in the URL is taking too long – the default timeout for fetching the results are, I believe 5 seconds. I could add a feature in the next release so that you can vary this but, tbh, if it’s taking more than 5 seconds to fetch that URL, it’s only likely to slow down your site – I’d look at the cause of the URL slowdown.
Are you able to share it?
Thanks for the response, sorry I didn’t see it until now. I am trying to work with this again.
I’m still not having any luck even using http://www.example.com/code.php as the target URL.
This results from the custom field approach where CODE1 is the field name, http://www.example.com/code.php is the field value and {{CODE1}} is entered in the page.
If I instead use {{http://www.example.com/code.php}} the page hangs and doesn’t display anything. I’ve tried altering the Opening and Closing identifiers with the same result.
Ok, well http://www.example.com/code.php isn’t valid so that isn’t going to work. Do you have a valid URL to try?
Thanks again for the response. I have changed the URL to “http://www.columbia.edu/~fdc/sample.html” with the same result.
May I ask why “http://www.example.com/code.php” isn’t valid? This is the URL from the “URL EMBEDDING” documentation of your plugin and it returns html. . .
I’ve tried that URL on my own test site and it works fine.
Are you seeing any error in the JavaScript console?
May I ask why “http://www.example.com/code.php” isn’t valid? This is the URL from the “URL EMBEDDING” documentation of your plugin and it returns html. . .
Because it was literally an example of a URL rather than a working example. I’ll change that in future.
