Travel map won’t embed to the blog

    Hello! I’ve made a map showing my travels which include marker and lines showing the journey to each destination, on an external website. It doesn’t seem to want to embed on to one of my page on wordpress. It shows (very small) when I’m editing but not when I’ve saved and previewed. I tried using Mapbox but it doesn’t allow the same features as this external map does. Please can anyone tell me how to embed this properly, or does wordpress not allow this?

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

    Hi there,

    From what service are you trying to embed?

    Embedding things like maps typically use iframe or script code, which is not allowed on WordPress.com for security reasons, so it’s only possible to embed content from services where we’ve specifically added support for the service, in this case Google Maps and Mapbox.

    If it’s not crucial for the map to be interactive/zoomable/scrollable, export your completed map as an image file (if the service provides that option), or just take a screen shot of it, and then upload the image file to the media library as an image instead.
