    I’ve seen a few posts about this subject which didn’t lead to any answer.

    My understanding is some of the iframe embed code has been removed from WP for security reasons.

    There’s at least one plugin which generates code (they say) so you can do it. But on my site, it doesn’t work.

    If I use some iframe code generated by another site – WP just displays the code.

    The WP embed code doesn’t work.

    Any ideas?

    What are you seeing when you add the embed script? Are you adding as html in the block editor?

    Also do you see any console error messages when you click inspect?

    Please also note, HTTPS sites can only use iFrames for content from other HTTPS sites. Similarly, HTTP sites can only use iFrames for content from other HTTP sites.

    1) Strangely, I see a static picture when the source is interactive content.

    2) I don’t know about that – I’ll go and find out!

    3) Yes I’m aware of that thanks. I read it somewhere.

    The content, if it makes any difference, is the books which you find at the Blurb web site.

    They say use this:

    <iframe id="data-blurb-bookshare-8141293" data-bindattr-38="38"
		height="100%" data-bindattr-39="39"
		width="100%" data-bindattr-40="40"
		src="https://MYBOOKLINK" data-bindattr-41="41"
		frameborder=0
		allowfullscreen=''
		onload='this.focus()'
		scrolling='no'>
		</iframe>

    – but it doesn’t work.
