One of our customers had a good experience using a plug-in called Advanced iFrame.
They used it to incorporate property listings on an Estate Agency site (British English for ‘realtor’).
Thanks! I use that plugin too, but do you know why my page is blank when i want this page embedded?
I haven’t got a clue!

Your page is blank because the iframe leads to a blank page.
I don’t understand – is this a blank page?
Can you please explain it to me?

Also please don’t duplicate threads.
Ok – sorry for being a noob here – but i still can’t see what i’m doing wrong:
In the “Advanced iframe plugin” it says:
Enter the full URL to your page. e.g. http://www.site.com. You can also add parameters to this url like http://www.site.com/test.php?iframe=true. then you can check this variable and use it to e.g. hide some elements in the iframe.
So I copy paste this url and you say it’s my iframe source. I can’t use the aforementioned embed code right?
It’s works fine with a couple of other sites i tested by the way!

You just need to make sure you use the correct URL.
So I copy paste this url and you say it’s my iframe source.
It is already in your webpage. That URL leads to a blank page, therefore your iFrame is blank in your webpage.
I can’t use the aforementioned embed code right?
Why not?
I mean, because the embed code is not a URL?
<iframe src='http://embed.verite.co/timeline/?source=0ApnNAEv3xtDldGxkV0h1VUk3SU52Q0JOU2NmVUhheVE&font=Bevan-PotanoSans&maptype=toner&lang=en&height=650' width='100%' height='650' frameborder='0'></iframe>
If i just paste the embed code it looks like this.

Can you use the ‘src’ URL from your embed code?
http://embed.verite.co/timeline/?source=0ApnNAEv3xtDldGxkV0h1VUk3SU52Q0JOU2NmVUhheVE&font=Bevan-PotanoSans&maptype=toner&lang=en&height=650
This iframe code is improper.
Try:
<iframe src="http://embed.verite.co/timeline/?source=0ApnNAEv3xtDldGxkV0h1VUk3SU52Q0JOU2NmVUhheVE&font=Bevan-PotanoSans&maptype=toner&lang=en&height=650" width="100%" height="650" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Test here:

Ok – in my theme it loads in a tenth of a second and then it’s just blank.
With the standard theme (on a test site) however it’s working perfectly! So my theme seems to be the problem.
I’ve done exactly the same thing with both themes (My real site here, and my test side here) and the only difference between the two iframes on the sites are the URL ‘s
Here is the url of the iframe on the real site with an added “?wmode=transparent” at the end:
http://embed.verite.co/timeline/?source=0ApnNAEv3xtDldGxkV0h1VUk3SU52Q0JOU2NmVUhheVE&font=Bevan-PotanoSans&maptype=toner&lang=en&height=650?wmode=transparent
Could that change something?
