How to embed an Arena live blog in the CMS

Introduction

This guide explains how to properly embed an Arena live blog in the CMS. Follow the steps below to add the embed code, make sure it is formatted correctly, and publish it successfully.

Before you begin

Before adding the embed, confirm that the Arena script is whitelisted in your CMS and that you have the correct embed code from Arena. If the code is not approved or is formatted incorrectly, the live blog may not render as expected.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Open the page or article where you want to place the Arena live blog.

  2. Add a new block in the CMS.

  3. Go to Media and select Arena from the available embed options.

  4. Paste the Arena embed script into the designated field.

  5. Check that the script is correctly formatted and matches the approved whitelist requirements.

  6. Save the block and publish the page.

What to expect in the editor

Arena embeds may not display inside the CMS editor. This is expected behavior. After the page is published, the live blog should render correctly on the published page if the embed code is valid and whitelisted.

Troubleshooting tips

  • Verify that the Arena script has been approved for use in the CMS.

  • Make sure the embed code is pasted exactly as provided, without extra characters or formatting changes.

  • Confirm that the page has been published, not just saved in draft mode.

  • If the embed still does not appear on the published page, contact support and include the Arena script you used.

Additional information

If you need help confirming whether an embed is whitelisted or properly formatted, reach out to your CMS administrator or support team.
