Google Maps embed shows HTML shortcode instead of map
-
Hello! I am trying to embed a map from Google maps on my website but instead of displaying the map, it only shows the html. The strange thing is that I have it displayed on two pages: my homepage and the page “contacto” and it seems to be working fine on the latter, but no matter what I do, it doesn’t display properly on the homepage.
Thank you in advance.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Did you put that code in a Custom Html Block -https://wordpress.com/support/google-maps/

I guess there is something wrong with the code. This is the code I get
[googlemaps https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3966.824762731675!2d-75.43803392428792!3d6.154219027343002!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x8e469deb10c01cc1%3A0x55a99dfeb9f3a409!2sPortanova%20Center!5e0!3m2!1snl!2sbe!4v1718641346720!5m2!1snl!2sbe&w=600&h=450] -
It’s expected that your iframe code for your map gets converted to the one like above.
Could you share the iframe code you pasted into the Custom HTML Block with us?

The code I copy from Google Maps is this:
When I create the custom HTML block and paste it, it looks and works fine in the preview, but once I publish it, the code turns into this:
The really weird thing is that the map seems to work on every single page other than the homepage. I even tried it on another test site and it’s the same: displays properly on every page except the homepage.
Thank you in advance.

Sorry, for some reason the first code didn’t copy properly. This is what I copy from Google Maps:

Okay, I don’t know what’s going on with the page not letting me upload what I need. I’m trying to re-upload the image from another browser:
In case it doesn’t show up it’s like this without the coding notation (which I think is causing the problems on here):
iframe src= https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m10!1m8!1m3!1d15866.007718752055!2d-75.5858882!3d6.1973134!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sco!4v1718763849836!5m2!1sen!2sco width=”600″ height=”450″ style=”border:0;” allowfullscreen=”” loading=”lazy” referrerpolicy=”no-referrer-when-downgrade” iframe -
Hi there!
I can see that a Google Map is already showing in the Visítanos section on your homepage now. Is there anywhere else you want to have a Google Map shown?
