Embedding an iframe in Wordpress does not work

Question

I need to embed the following code on a self hosted Wordpress installation -

<iframe id="slydy" 
    style = "border: none; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100px;" 
    src = "http://slydy.co/users/TCC/01" 
    width = "648" 
    height = "435" 
    frameborder = "0" 
    marginwidth = "0" 
    marginheight = "0" 
    scrolling = "no" 
    allowfullscreen = "allowfullscreen"> 
</iframe>

but it just doesn't show up. I've installed the same on at least two other Wordpress blogs and it worked just fine.

What setting do i need to tweak?

Solution 1

probably one of these things:

1. if your website httpS then its blocked because your iframe is http.
2. make sure that you in text ( not visual ) editing mode on post editing screen
3. WP caching ?

Solution 2

The Wordpress editor blocks/removes iframes. Try using some of the plugins out there that supports iframes, og make an Shortcode to make iframes.

Or, Same Origin Policy - developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/…

OK, It's not Same Origin Policy in this case as I've just tried it and it works.

This may no longer be correct, and/or depends on where in WordPress you're putting your iFrame code. For example, in WordPress 5's Editor/Custom HTML block, an iframe renders just fine.
