I'm a student and have a 60 day trial for Arc GIS Online for an assignment, that is due in 3 days.

I created a Map Series Story Map and added 4 tabs that consist of 3 Cascade and 1 Map Tour embedded into the Map Series as individual tabs.

I made all my Story Maps Public. But when I view the URL of the Map Series, this page shows well, but when I clickon the tabs - they are all blank (zero content). Like this one below.  Please help me fix this.  Thanks.

I found this issue. When I first created the story map and was on the Builder page, I copied the URL of that page and used this to embed into the Map Series page. I noticed that at the end of each URL was the words "&edit", so I deleted this and re-copied the URL's into the Map Series page .... and it worked!

Hi Debbie, This is most likely happening because your story map is accessed via https (i.e. it's URL starts with https) but the content you are embedding is being accessed via http. If a web app such as a story map uses https, then the web browser will hide embedded web content presented in the app that is not also accessed using https. Can you embed those apps into your story map using https instead? In other words first open each one in a separate web browser tab, edit the beginning of the URL to be https if it is http, press return and see if it loads correctly, and if so, copy that URL and use that to embed the app in your story map.

OK it was easier than I thought. Glad that this is working for you now and that you'll make your assignment due date
