  I’m trying to embed my twitch profile and chat onto my wordpress site. My domain name is watchnathan.wordpress.com

  This is the code that twitch itself is giving me:

  I’ve tried changing the ‘www.example.com’ to watchnathan.wordpress.com and that just seems to refuse to work no matter what I try.

  I’m really unsure of how to fix this issue.

  Site: https://watchnathan.wordpress.com.
  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there,

  Please share the code you’re trying to embed by using the code button.

  

  Please note that most embed codes will not work because we do not allow certain tags on WordPress.com, for security reasons, including JavaScript, Flash, iframe, form, and input tags.

  These restrictions are in place to prevent any disruptions in service due to potentially malicious code. You can read more about this here:

  Code

  If you would like to add any code that you want, the WordPress.com Business plan or eCommerce plan offers that option.

  I was trying to use an html block, but it was an iframe code from Twitch. I think it’s very silly to even give me the option then if you limit my uses of it so heavily.

  You won’t need an iframe to embed Twitch here, instead please follow the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/videos/twitch-tv-shortcode/
