Its raison d’être, if you will. Did you read the tutorial provided? * Thread Starter [wbdesigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbdesigner/) * (@wbdesigner) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iframe-using-a-shortcode/#post-5419922) * OK OK I’m sorry I was just going to edit the post and try to delete it. lol I’m not sure what I was doing wrong but I think I was making more complicated than it is. I got it working * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iframe-using-a-shortcode/#post-5419923) * Yippee! * Thread Starter [wbdesigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbdesigner/) * (@wbdesigner) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iframe-using-a-shortcode/#post-5420021) * Well maybe not. What I want to do is I have a timely calendar event list I want to display on my html home page and I want to strip off the wp header and widgets. that’s what I’m using the fileaway iframe for. * So I made my fileaway iframe and inserted it into my html home page. I did this by making an html iframe linking to the fileaway iframe page. Now when you open the html home page the iframe page steals the show and auto opens to the fileaway iframe page. I have done wp iframes on my html page before w/o the fileaway iframe and not had this problem. * maybe I’m over thinking this? I’s there an easier way? * WOW I just reread this and it’s a lot of WOW.. sorry. hopeful you can understand what I’m trying to do. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iframe-using-a-shortcode/#post-5420022) * You have to set the page template to be File Away iframe * Thread Starter [wbdesigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbdesigner/) * (@wbdesigner) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iframe-using-a-shortcode/#post-5420027) * yes I did that [http://wp.aibdca.org/event-list/](http://wp.aibdca.org/event-list/) * And then I put that page into an iframe in my html page [http://www.aibdca.org/](http://www.aibdca.org/) * Click on this and it will take you to the html page and then auto take you to [http://wp.aibdca.org/event-list/](http://wp.aibdca.org/event-list/) * Ok for some reason it works when you click on the link above but if you type in the url it auto opens the fileaway iframe page. * Also is there a way to have the iframe background white? I just started looking through the tutorials.

I click on your home page link and it does not auto-take me to the event-list page. The event-list page is iframed inside the home page as expected. I’m not understanding what the problem is that you’re having. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iframe-using-a-shortcode/#post-5420030) * Here’s what I see on your page: [http://imgur.com/qudBuOA](http://imgur.com/qudBuOA) * Thread Starter [wbdesigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbdesigner/) * (@wbdesigner) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iframe-using-a-shortcode/#post-5420031) * I’m not sure why but the link above worked when clicked on it. but if you type in the url [http://www.aibdca.org](http://www.aibdca.org) it will open for a second and then it auto goes to the events list [http://wp.aibdca.org/event-list/](http://wp.aibdca.org/event-list/) I’ve tried it on several computers and IE FF and chrome same thing happens. * Plugin Author [thomstark](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thomstark/) * (@thomstark) * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iframe-using-a-shortcode/#post-5420032) * Nope. Still not redirecting for me, if I type it in manually (with or without [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/iframe-using-a-shortcode/?output_format=md)). It still works just fine for me, in any browser. At any rate, this would not be an issue with File Away or with fileaframe. All fileaframe does is generate an
