  I would like to put an interactive map on my website. I have used Mapbox but it apparently requires a plugin to display correctly. Without this it simply prints the URL – which I want to be invisible.

  Interested in either the iframe plugin or alternative methods.

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

  You can’t use iframes, and you cannot use plugins on a WordPress.com blog. There’s no way to embed an interactive map here.

  You can’t add Mapbox plugin if it requires an iframe.

  iframe and other html tags are not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons. You can check the complete list of unallowed html tags and other code in the Code support document.

  I understand, thank you. This forum is intended to ask for suggestions for exceptions to that rule, so I thought I would ask ! I’m also interested alternative approaches to displaying an interactive map. Any thoughts???

  Could you please check if Google Maps support for WordPress.com covers your requirements?

  You can check this information in the Google Maps support document.
