Does anyone know if there is a way to get a permalink that starts with HTTP instead of the traditional HTTPS? Background we are trying to insert an article in an iframe while building training content. For reference we are using articulate storyline and trying to insert it as a web object. This produces an error and we are unable to get to the article that way. Any suggestions or workarounds would be great!

Hey @Shaina 

A majority of platforms enforce HTTPS for security reasons and browsers will detect the HTTP content in Iframes and block it. This will explain why you're not having much success.

However - You can TRY using an object wrapper (below) and see if it works...

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>Wrapper title</title></head>
<body>
<iframe src="http://ARTICLEURL.com" width="100%" height="600px" style="border:none;"></iframe>
</body>
</html>


There's other options but require a fair bit of effort which will out weigh the benefits of just displaying a URL.

Please mark as helpful or if its resolved the issue - CORRECT! 👍
