  Hello! I’m trying to embed an anchor.fm episode to my blog post but I’m only seeing the iframe code snippet when i preview. What am I missing? Below is the page, I have the free version of wordpress and I do not intend on upgrading.
  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Hi,

  As I can see in your blog, you have added a “code” snippet to add an iframe. You just have to remove that and add a “Custom HTML” block to add the iframe. It will work fine.

  Thank you.

  Thank you so much for responding. So I converted the existing “code” block to a “custom html” block and the html tags did not seem right. and when i previewed I still don’t see a player.

  I added another “custom html” block and added the embed code i copied without making any changes. in the editor I can see the player as expected but when I publish I see nothing. Not sure what i’m doing wrong. Here’s a screenshot of my editor.

  Hi, there are some security issues to embed iframes, but you can use the inbuilt “podcast player” bock to do that. Here

  use the original URL to the podcast instead of the embedded link. This works perfectly Check Here
