 * 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.
