  Hi there, I’m trying to embed my substack form into my wordpress.com website. It appears when I preview the html code but it doesn’t appear on the front end. Could you help me out here?

  Hi there,

  That embed code will not work if it has certain tags we don’t allow on WordPress.com for security reasons, including JavaScript, Flash, iframe, form, and input tags. Does the embed contain any of the above code?

  These restrictions are in place to prevent any disruptions in service due to potentially malicious code.

  You can read more about this here:

  If you have the Business Plan, however, you would be able to add the above code to your site.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!

  Hi Daniel,

  Thanks for your response. My embed does have iframe. Here it is:

  Do you know how I can edit this to still embed my substack form?

  Thanks,
  David

  Hi David,

  It’s not possible to embed that code on WordPress.com even you somehow managed to edit it. It contains an iframe that cannot be removed.
