Question

onedrive iframe-code is not working

Jan Niezen 20

The iframe code stopped working a few days ago. Even a newly generated code results in a blank screen.

Hi Jan Niezen,

To help narrow this down, could you please provide a few additional details?

Does the issue occur with all embedded files or only specific files?
When you open the generated embed link directly in a browser tab (outside of the iframe), does the file load correctly?
Have you tested the embed code in a different browser or an InPrivate/Incognito window?
What website or platform are you embedding the iframe into (custom HTML site, WordPress, Google Sites, etc.)?
When the page displays blank, do you see any errors in the browser's Developer Tools (F12) under the Console or Network tabs?
Has anything recently changed on the hosting website, such as security settings, Content Security Policy (CSP), or iframe restrictions?

Since you mentioned that both existing and newly generated embed codes result in the same blank screen, this will help determine whether the issue is related to the OneDrive embed service itself, the sharing link, browser behavior, or restrictions on the hosting site.

I look forward to your update.

The issue occurs with all files.

When I open the link directly in a browser, 1.drv.ms changes to onedrive.live.com. The screen remains blank, so the file does not open.

Naturally, I have tested the code in a different browser and also in an incognito window.

I am using WordPress 7.1. I also restored an old backup to check if WordPress is causing the issue.

See 4. Restoring the old version did not help.

Hi Jan Niezen,

Thank you for the additional information.

I'd like to clarify one point to help isolate where the failure is occurring.

Could you please test the following separately?

Open the regular sharing link for the file (the link obtained from Share > Copy link) in a browser. Does the file open correctly?

Open the embed-generated link (the URL used in the iframe) directly in a browser. Does this still display a blank page?

If the regular sharing link works but the embed-generated link does not, this would suggest the issue is specifically related to the OneDrive embed service rather than file access or sharing permissions.

If both links fail in the same way, the issue is more likely related to the file rendering service or the sharing mechanism itself.

I regenerated the code and also analyzed and adjusted it using AI. Nothing has been working for 3 days now.
