  Hi,

  These pages

  https://wordpress.com/support/google-docs/
  https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/collecting-data-on-a-webpage/

  that I can embed Google Forms into a wordpress.com page whatever the subscribed plan. However, the documentation is stating that embedding an iframe is only possible with the Business plan and above.

  As far as I know, embedding a Google Form implies using an iframe as shown here : https://wordpress.com/support/google-docs/ .

  I’m puzzled. I intend to subscribe to the Premium plan.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Let me take a closer look at what you’re working on. Which page are you adding the Google Form on to? Is the form public?

  Liz,

  I eventually got an answer to my question. I was not aware that when inserting an Google Frame into a page as described here https://wordpress.com/support/google-docs/ , the iframe embed code was automatically converted to a wordpress specific script. So, the “no iframe” limitation of the Premium Plan appeared to be contradictory with these instructions.

  Thanks.

  You are right, iframes are not supported on WordPress.com for security reasons, so it is converted.

  You can read more about this here:

  However, I am glad that you were able to get things sorted.

  Let us know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
