  Hi there,

  iframes are not supported on WordPress.com for security reasons, so if you put the iframe on your post/page, only an hyperlink will be displayed.

  For more information on what code is and is not allowed on WordPress.com, please visit our support page:

  Add Code to Your Site

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks Darnell, but that totally sucks. I chose wordpress.com so I could keep the environment simple for a few other users, but I’m never using this environment again. I didn’t realize that I couldn’t upload a template, and now no iFrames . . . :(

  Hey there,

  I understand – It sounds like if you’re trying to install a third party theme and use iframes, creating a self-hosted WordPress.org blog is the better bet. Here are some differences between the two:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  Let me know if you have any other problems or questions.

  Cheers,
