Hello,

When adding an SVG to an < img />, publishing the page, returning to edit the page, and opening the HTML editor of CKEditor the < img /> is no longer there. The image does show when looking at the page after initially adding it. Is it not supported to use SVGs in this manner? I am able to use them in. Is there any way to get this to work in the < img />?

Thanks,

J.

Check in Host Settings to make sure that svg files are allowed.

Hi Joe,
I do see svg in the "Allowable File Extensions" list. Could there be another reason it is stripped in < img /> elements? It is able to be added using < object> with no problems, but unfortunately my client has been requested to have it as < img />.
Thanks,
J.

If you open Site Assets, are the svg files visible there?

Hmmm. Is there a setting for CK Editor that's out of whack. Sorry for the use of that technical term.

I'm somewhat at a loss.

What does CKE window show where the image should be?

I just checked a 9.3.2 site. I added an svg file and can see it in Site Assets, but not in the Image Manager when I try to edit an HTML module.

The CKEditor documentation says the svg files are not allowed by default, but that can be modified. I haven't found anything in the HTML Editor Profider settings, though. Still looking.

Hi Joe,
Had some trouble logging in for a while. Were you able to find anything else out? I tried adding "SVG" to the allowed content in the CKEditor settings, but it did not seem to do anything. I also checked to be sure that it was not added to the unallowed content. Just for kicks I did a Fiddler trace to see if anything showed up, but found nothing of value there.

Thanks for your continued help with this issue!
