Story Map Swipe not displaying left map

JonathanDrapkin — Fri, 18 Sep 2015 13:31:42 GMT

I'm having trouble figuring out why my Story Map on population in the Hudson Valley New York will not display the left map when launching the application. When I'm in builder mode, both maps display. When you try to view the application (using Chrome and trying different computers), the left map will not display. Occasionally, neither map will display. The web maps that the Story Map is built on use layers that are feature services. The feature service that gives population information is the same for both web maps, but I simply have them displaying different features (population change on the left and current population on the right). Any thoughts??

Johnathan,

Your app is an http url and you are accessing your layers url using https. Mixed content like that will normally cause issue. Try using http url for your HV_Population_Masterfile layer instead of https. I get a dojo.io.script error in my web console for https://services6.arcgis.com/rFtuWvpPt7MhzFn0/arcgis/rest/services/HV_Population_Masterfile/FeatureServer/0

Thanks, Rickey. Curiously enough, it works now for me, too. Both when I launch in AGOL and when I embed into my wordpress site. This morning that was infuriatingly not the case. Thanks for the response.

Robert, thanks for the response. I am able now to get both maps to launch, and I didn't do anything. If you think switching the HV_Population_Masterfile layer url to http from https will prevent this from happening again, I'd like to try it. However, I'm not sure how I can do that.
