  Hi,

  I would like to add a map of places I visited onto my blog page and looks like the word press currently doesn’t support iframe without plugin. I currently don’t generate money so don’t intend to use any business plan packages. Is there a workaround this? I would like to add this: https://createaclickablemap.com/map.php?&id=61895&maplocation=false&online=true to my home page.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/ where the search box is prominent. https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=spotify

  WordPress.COM users have code restrictions. No JavaScript, no form codes, except these https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/contact-form https://en.support.wordpress.com/forms/, no tracking codes, no advertising codes, and no unsupported embeds of unsupported iframes can be used on any wordpress.COM hosted sites.

  Please read:

  Although we WordPress.COM bloggers cannot plugins other Volunteers have said in the past that this online image mapping process works well

  Yikes! I made an awful mistake above. I’m sorry :(
  
  Ignore the first paragraph please. The rest is correct.

  Hi there,

  You are correct that WordPress does not support code using iframe due to security reasons.

  WordPress.com does however support two map embeds, Google Maps and CartoDB

  The other option is to link to a map hosted elsewhere online, in a blog post, page or widget on your site. However, this would not be an embed like you are looking for.

  Hope this helps to answer your question.
