Title: Full screen doesn't work when embedding using shortcode Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Full screen doesn't work when embedding using shortcode * [delwinv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/delwinv/) * (@delwinv) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-screen-doesnt-work-when-embedding-using-shortcode/) * After installing the extension, embedding the slideshow works fine whether I use a single-line URL to the slideshow (option 1 of the plugin) or using the WordPress shortcode (option 2 of the plugin). It also works for the iframe embedding. * The issue I have is solely with the full-screen button. This button works fine if I use the URL on its own line, and when I use the iframe code generated by the share button. But when I use the WordPress shortcode generated by this share button, the full-screen button does not function. I get no javascript errors in the console, I see no errors occurring anywhere on the page. * Does anyone else notice this problem? Is there a bug here? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/slideshare/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/slideshare/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Thread Starter [delwinv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/delwinv/) * (@delwinv) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-screen-doesnt-work-when-embedding-using-shortcode/#post-6284878) * A bit more information: The two types of embed that work – pasting the slideshow URL (e.g. `http://www.slideshare.net/khoslaventures/project-rifle`) on a line by itself in the editor and including the iframe HTML directly in the editor ( e.g. ``) – produce an iframe with src attribute set to (for a test slideshow) [https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/hwtKQyW5Vuj5Gv](https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/hwtKQyW5Vuj5Gv) and //www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/hwtKQyW5Vuj5Gv, respectively( the later simply implying the protocol from that which the browser used to load the page) * The WordPress shortcode (e.g. `[slideshare id=49610449&doc=khosla-ventures-project- rifle-150619175300-lva1-app6891]`) produces an iframe, for the same slideshow, with a src attribute set to [https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/49610449](https://www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/49610449). * So there appears to be a different backend mechanism generating the two different references to the slideshow, _**the shortcode method not producing an `allowfullscreen` attribute in the iframe tag**_. * **NB**: when _not_ used in an iframe (e.g. by clicking on the above links from here, thereby opening them in their own window), the full-screen option seems to work in all cases. * [danwpc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danwpc/) * (@danwpc) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-screen-doesnt-work-when-embedding-using-shortcode/#post-6285060) * Yes, I noticed this issue as well. Anyone? * [jlelean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jlelean/) * (@jlelean) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-screen-doesnt-work-when-embedding-using-shortcode/#post-6285061) * I also have this issue but only with Chrome and Firefox. With internet explorer it works fine. * [knedlyk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knedlyk/) * (@knedlyk) * [10 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-screen-doesnt-work-when-embedding-using-shortcode/#post-6285063) * This issue confirmed for WP 4.3.1 * [raymond1967](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raymond1967/) * (@raymond1967) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/full-screen-doesnt-work-when-embedding-using-shortcode/#post-6285083) * I’m experiencing this as well and I really need to have a full screen view of the pdf files I am using. Without the full screen view, my students will not be able to see that is going on. Is there an update on this issue, a fix, or an alternative?
