Why does my code disappear when I publish my embedded map?

    Why does my code disappear when I publish my embedded map? I am travelling from Cairo to Cape Town for charity and have been sponsored by gaptrac.co.uk with a tracking system, they have provided me with a code to embed into our blog so that our followers don’t have to be redirected to their site. When I enter the code I can see the map appear but whenever I publish the article or page, the code disappears and the map is not there. I am the sole author and admin of my blog and can’t find any answers to this problem, please help.

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

    Hi there,

    Please note that if your code disappears there’s a good chance it is not accepted on WordPress.com. Please view the guide below on the accepted code at WordPress.com:

    Code

    Just in case, can you provide me the code they want you to add? I can see if it’s allowed here.

    Cheers!

    Hi there,

    I thought it might be blocked, that’s a real shame. Everything has been so easy up to now when using WordPress but this is quite an obstacle!

    The said code is:

    <iframe width=’620′ height=’500′ marginwidth=’0′ scrolling=’no’ src=’http://www.gaptrac.co.uk/embedmap/9732/39lanium12p8583u4rtt’ frameborder=’0′ marginheight=’0′>Locuro Parent Video</iframe>

    Thanks.

    Tristan

    Hi Tristan,

    I’m sorry but iframes are not possible for security reasons. You can do this using the self-hosted, WordPress install on WordPress.org. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities. At WordPress.com, we provide hosting, support, and tons of features for blogs. Users also have the option to purchase a variety of upgrades to customize the look and feel of their blog. WordPress.org is a software for self-hosted sites. With WordPress.org, users are provided access to all backend files and can upload custom themes and plugins.

    Check here to learn more about the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    If you would like to move, this guide will step you through the process of moving your site to a WordPress.org instance:

    As we only support sites hosted here at WordPress.com, all issues with the new site – including the importing of the file – must be taken to the WordPress.org support community:

    If you’d like assistance moving your WordPress.com site to WordPress.org, we have a service called Guided Transfer that does all the work for you. Check it out to see if it’s right for you:
