  Hi, when I add a custom HTML block to my blog post including an iFrame, it previews fine and looks like I expect. If I preview the whole post (not just the block) it does not show up and if I leave the draft and return (having saved), it deletes the content of the HTML block. Any tips? I am using the Twenty Sixteen theme and I have no plugins.

  Hi there, iframes won’t display on WordPress.com as they are restricted code for any plan other than the WordPress.com Business or eCommerce plans. You can learn more about this in this support guide: https://wordpress.com/support/widgets/custom-html-widget/ as well as https://wordpress.com/support/code/

  I hope that answers your question, but post back to this thread if you need more help and please mention the site you need help with.

  Thanks! That does answer the question. I didn’t realise that.
