HMTL code appears when editing my page but not when previewing

    Hi,

    Wondering if someone could help, I have a HTML code of a form that I am trying to add to my contact page. When I add a custom HMTL block directly onto my page and insert the code and then preview the code, it is fine but when I update my page and visit the page on the site, the HMTL code shows as blank and nothing appears.

    Could you please tell me if i am doing something wrong? I have tried with iFrame and HMTL code and nothing seems to work. iFrame appears to preview fine when I edit but not when I see it on my live website.

    Hope you can help! Thanks :)

    Hi there,

    iframe code is not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons, and will be stripped out by the editor whenever you save or update a post.

    HTML form tags are likewise not allowed.

    Add Code to Your Site

    Have you looked at the contact form option that’s already built into WordPress.com?

    Form Block

    We also support embeds of Crowdsignal, JotForms, Wufoo and Google Forms:

    Create a Form

    Embedding any other type of form via a plugin or iframe code, or creating your own HTML forms, are only possible on our Business Plan.
