Static block not showing up in CMS page

Question

I just started working on magento/admin. I am trying to show my static block in one of my CMS pages, but it is not working. I tried to find out answer in google and stack exchange but no luck! Can anyone please help.Thanks.

Below are details: This is my static block

This is my CMS page: I am able to see the text "Yes!" though.

Final output: That blue box is my CSS. (jfyi).

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because Stack Overflow is a [programming-related](http://stackoverflow.com/help/on-topic) Q&A site. Your question is not about programming. Perhaps you should post it on http://magento.stackexchange.com instead? — Enigmativity, Jan 01 '16 at 23:50
@Enigmativity - Yes, first I tried over there.But I don't have enough rep to insert more than one image. That's why I posted question here. — sri, Jan 04 '16 at 04:18

If you use the latest Magento version 1.9.2.2 that includes the latest patches, then you need to add first the block to Magento white list in teh backend: System->Permissions->Block.

See this article: http://www.dudesquare.nl/blog/2015/10/31/static-block-shortcodes-not-working-1-9-2-2/

Please set different identifier in static block than CMS page. I think CMS page and block identifier same so may be block not display on CMS page.

Also select all store views in static block may be your store is wrong.

And finally remove all cache and refresh all index.

Please check following:

Whether you had editor enabled, while calling static block. If yes, please click on Show/Hide Editor button and check what code is there in text area while editor mode off.
If above does not work, then go to System >> Configuration >> Advanced (Developer) and under Log Settings, Enable Logs. Then refresh cms page in frontend.

I hope this will help you resolve your issue. Please let me know if you find any problem.

Have you tried my second suggestion, i.e. enable logs and refresh page then check var >> log folder. – Mohit Kumar Arora Dec 31 '15 at 07:34
Yes. var >> log folder is empty – sri Dec 31 '15 at 07:40

Try to add static blocks through Layout Update XML in CMS Pages use something like this code. Add this code in your CMS page design tab.

<reference name="content">
    <block type="cms/block" name="block.name">
        <action method="setBlockId">
            <block_id>block_id</block_id>
        </action>
    </block>

</reference>

Solution:

Step 1)Go to admin.

Step 2)Open Top menu System->Permissions->Blocks.

Step 3)click "Add New Block".

write your "Block Name" and Is Allowed "Yes".

Note: Block Name is type of your block for example "cms/block"
after Save Block.
