  Hi there,

  I’m trying to embed a Google Calendar into a new webpage I’m building at http://blogs.universityprep.org/music. Seems easy enough, but when I follow the directions and copy the iframe code from the calendar settings to the page and hit publish the code just disappears instead of turning into WP shortcode.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks!

  Oh, and I should add that the calendar is marked public.

  WordPress strips iframes from the visual editor for security reasons. You can try the iframe plugin or avoid switching from “HTML” to “Visual” in the post editor.

  Thanks for the reply, Gene. I’ve been using the text editor on the page but it still doesn’t work. Should it work there, or should I use the plug in?
