iframe

Description

[iframe src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/dUpTjDqjQoo” width=”100%” height=”500″] shortcode
should show something like this:

WordPress removes iframe html tags because of security reasons.
Iframe shortcode is the replacement of the iframe html tag and accepts the same params as iframe html tag does.
You may use iframe shortcode to embed content from YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps or from any external page.

If you need to embed content from YouTube, Vimeo, SlideShare, SoundCloud, Twitter via direct link, you may use [embed]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUpTjDqjQoo[/embed] shortcode.
[embed] shortcode is a core WordPress feature and can embed content from many resources via direct link.

Important: You can not embed HTTP pages into HTTPS pages and vice versa.
So the protocol (http or httpS) for parent and embedded page should match.

  • src – source of the iframe: [iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/dUpTjDqjQoo"]; by default src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/dUpTjDqjQoo”;

I’ve been using this for several years to embed a public webcam livestream. And also using it to embed google docs. I download the google doc as html, put it on the same server where wordpress is, and embed it with iframe. No problems whatsoever.

An easy to use plugin with fast and practical support from its developer. More frequently and providing options to generate the shortcode on the posting page could make it even better! Thanks so much!

Instructions are not clear, short code just take me to a YouTube video even when I place my own url. Not recommended!
