We are trying to embed a poll in a blog post via iframe and having trouble doing so. We tested the html on another WordPress blog and it embedded successfully, but when we try to embed it on our blog, only a link displays and the code itself changes in the text editor after saving the post.

This is the code we are trying to use: <iframe frameborder=”0″ scrolling=”no” width=”400″ height=”250″ src=’http://staging.pollshare.com/embed/618′></iframe>

This is what the code automatically changes to after saving or publishing the post: http://staging.pollshare.com/embed/618

Any idea why this could be happening?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
These are the only polls we can use on WordPress.COM hosted blogs http://en.support.wordpress.com/polls/

Ok, I have the same problem, but my iframe isn’t for a poll. It’s to display a Google calendar formatted the way I want it (not the way that Google lets me embed it). Can I use an iframe for that sort of thing?

Nope. Iframes cannot be embedded on a WordPress.com blog for security reasons.
