  Hi @andrewzinozinopt,

  Unfortunately WordPress.com doesn’t allow to use iframe on the site.

  embed, frame, iframe, form, input, object, textarea and others are missing from the above list. Those codes are not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons.

  – https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/#html-tags

  I suggest you to use image which is linked to particular URL.

  Hi nizamilputra

  Is it only wordpress.comthat does not allow iframe or also any wordpress website (via wordpress.org)?

  Thanks for the suggestion of the image, but the concept is that the dynamic content is loaded in one central database/booking engine and then pushed out to websites via iframe (for ex booking.com / homeaway.com widgets), without leaving the website. This is easy to do in weebly

  Best
  Andrew

  It’s just only for WordPress.com hosted site. Because they handle the security, they will prevent anything that has change to break the security wall and ensure your site stay secure.

  You can use iframe in self-hosted WordPress (.org) because the security is handled by yourself.
