Widgets (iframes) for my games do not display ( X-FRAME-OPTION header)

Hello!

The widgets for various games I made suddenly stopped working on my website.

I didn't change anything in my configuration, so I snooped a bit. The links are still valid.

But it seems like the X-FRAME-OPTION header sent by `itch.io`  is set to "same origin" only. Which means iframes (widget integrations) can only be displayed on a website hosted by itch-io itself, if I'm not mistaken. 

My server has the value set correctly (x-frame-options to ALL) this seems to be specific to itch dot io. No embeds work at the time on my set up.

Have I diagnosed this correctly and this is a temporary issue on itch io servers, or did I misconfigure something / did something change that I need to enable or configure in each of my games? 

Thank you

Kind regards,

Hello, I have exactly the same problem (and no solution).

I was debugging it today and I believe that it is caused by claudflare verification process. AFAIK there is nothing we can do from our side. I made a github issue, hopefully somebody from itch will fix the cloudflare configuration.

It seems to work fine now, so if your github post did speed things up, thank you! 👍

Thank you so much! Working for me aswell :)
