Hello there,

Can you tell me more about the HTML you’re using please? If you can share it in this support thread, we can take a look and see what might be happening there.

Many thanks.

Hi there,

You have inserted your HTML code in the “Code block”. The “Code block” is used to add formatted code for others to view.

Use the “Custom HTML block” for your HTML code to work properly.
You can learn more about this block here: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/custom-html-block/

Please note that due to security reasons, HTML code and tags that you can use in your free WordPress.com sites are very limited. Refer to this link for more information: https://wordpress.com/support/code/

I added in the code part so that you can see it. I used the HTML part and it didn’t show anything.

Hello there,

Hmm, I can’t see that this is visible.

Can you tell me what page this has been added to please?

Alternatively, can you post a link as to where you’re obtaining this HTML please.

Many thanks.

Since you are using the iframe tag you need to have WordPress.com’s business plan or higher.

The following tags are not allowed on sites that are on Premium Plan and below for security reasons:

embed, frame, iframe, form, input, object, textarea, style, link

Refer to this link for more information about the tags that are allowed in WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/code/
