    Hi there,

    Hope you’re well today :)

    I want to embed my Issuu portfolio into my home page.

    I’ve got this code:

    <div data-configid=”9019067/9634340″ style=”width: 650px; height: 230px;” class=”issuuembed”></div><script type=”text/javascript” src=”//e.issuu.com/embed.js” async=”true”></script>

    which I put on the CSS section but it didn’t work, what do I need to do?

    Thanks,

    Katie.

    Hey Katie!

    Third party code (such as the javascript in your Issuu code) is not usable on WordPress.com sites.

    I took a look at Issuu’s help page and although it mentions that the plugin is not available on WordPress.com sites, it can be used on self-hosted WordPress.org sites:

    If you wanted to consider self-hosting, here are the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    While you cannot embed from Issuu directly on your WordPress.com page, if you want me to help you with a work-around (for instance, creating your own widget that would link your visitors to your page on Issuu), let me know. Here are the instructions on creating your own widget:

    The following link will display the embeds that are available on WordPress.com. Perhaps there is an alternative to Issuu that you can utilize:

    Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!
