 * I am trying to embed a google site URL but when I do… the page or post forwards
   to the site rather than embedding. Please let me know what I should do to fix
   this either in the URL {{URL}} or as a CODE value.

 * Can you provide some more detail on this?
 * How are trying to embed this – i.e. what exactly are you adding to the page? 
   Also, what URL are you trying to use?

 * Just the URL for the Website (a Google Site URL) as you described in the instructions.

 * So, you’re not putting it in double braces?
 * e.g. `{{your url}}`
 * Can you share the exact URL?

 * I followed your instructions so yes … I did do that the URL is [https://sites.google.com/view/cartunecards/MerchNews](https://sites.google.com/view/cartunecards/MerchNews)

 * Thanks – that URL was useful.
 * So, that’s not going to work. The URL is supposed to be for a script, whereas
   that’s an entire site and why you’re seeing the behaviour you are. So, if you
   had a link to a script that displayed some information, then that’s what you’d
   use here. When it’s an entire web page, then that takes over in preference to
   yours.

 * Your best solution here is to use an iframe – essentially, a window within your
   web page, in which you can put anything, including other sites.
 * There are lots of tutorials available on how to do this. e.g. [https://smartwp.com/wordpress-iframe/](https://smartwp.com/wordpress-iframe/)

 * Hello again David,
    It would not work and it is because in the header it says
   DENY … this was figured out by using this Link checker: [https://www.tinywebgallery.com/blog/advanced-iframe/free-iframe-checker](https://www.tinywebgallery.com/blog/advanced-iframe/free-iframe-checker)
 * Do you have a work around?
