Embedding a google calendar
-
I am trying to embed a calendar from google that is public. I follow these steps that are on the support page for wordpress. Everytime I hit “update” though, it immediately deletes everything and the page doesn’t update with a calendar. I am very lost, and new to wordpress, and use it for a class at the college I work at. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the step by step I follow:https://en.support.wordpress.com/google-calendar/

What’s the URL of your blog?
Thanks
Ok, that support document is only for blogs at WordPress.com, very different from your self-hosted WordPress.org blog.
On your blog, follow a similar approach, but just copy/paste the iframe into the Text editor tab (not the Visual editor tab).
It won’t be converted into a shortcode, but it will still work.
Hmm, every time I try and copy the iframe code into the text window instead of the visual editor tab, after I update it, everything gets deleted and the page is blank.
I appreciate your help, I am very confused!
Would you please provide the iframe code here? Make sure you use the “code” button above the reply box here.
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?mode=WEEK&height=600&wkst=1&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&src=m7lc3e0pols994pjde3kcuvsp4%40group.calendar.google.com&color=%232952A3&ctz=America%2FLos_Angeles" style=" border-width:0 " width="800" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>Hope I did that right.
It worked well for me on my test blog: http://d.pr/i/14ho2/3JzrZzrn
Something else must be interfering.
Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.
If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
Thank you for your help! I am still working on this but I appreciate your insight! 😀 I will write back when it’s fixed or if I have another question
You’re welcome!
