  I go to embed something, but it is only appearing as a hyperlink.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  And what, exactly, is the “something” you are attempting to embed? We need the actual code, placed between CODE tags so it displays.

  I’m trying to embed a question I made on the education website, Edcite. This is the share link for the question: https://edcite.com/1xw6l0

  That item appears to be set to Private.

  Thanks for helping me out on this. Is it not appearing when you click it? It shows up for me when I click it–even though I’m not logged in.

  I tied to embed it using this:
  <iframe src=”https://edcite.com/1xw6l0″ width=”850″ height=”650″></iframe>

  Does WordPress not allow people to embed from all sites?

  Oh, Iframes cannot be embedded here for security reasons.

  Sorry, last question…do you know if it’s possible to get this site approved for iframes since I see a few other sites are accepted with that form?

  Unless you have a few hundred million users, it’s extremely unlikely.
