Hello,
I’m testing iframe on a page. And I add the following code in the HTML tab.

<h2>This is a test</h2>
https://wordpress.com

Then I open the Visual tab and it’s working.

But when I click Preview or Update this page, it only displays a link.

How can make iframe working for the real webpage?

This is the screenshot of how it shows in the Visual tab.

And this is the screenshot of how it shows when I click Preview or when I visit the saved web page.

How can I solve this?

Hi there,

iframe tag is not available on Premium, Personal or free plan. You need to have a Business Plan and install a custom plugin or a theme in order to do that.

Hello, I just upgraded to the Business Plan.
I want to add iframe in the blog, and where should I add the Custom HTML plugin?
My Theme is Dara.
There 4 items in Widgets: Sidebar, Footer 1, Footer 2, Footer 3, which one should I add the Custom HTML plugin to?

You can take a look at this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/. It allows you to use the iframe shortcode to replace with the HTML iframe tag and add it to your posts or pages.
