* Hi – I’m in love with a timeline tool, but i can’t figure out how to embed it
into my site.
The provided wordpress embedding plugin is not up to date, and
as an alternative it says that you can embed it via iframe. How do i do that,
and wich iframe plugin should i use? – Yeah, this may be very simple but i need
some easy instructions here!
* [The timeline i’m talking about
The embed code it gives me:
* ``
* [The site i want it embedded into
[And finally an example of the timeline
here Thanks in advance!

* One of our customers had a good experience using a plug-in called [Advanced iFrame](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/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](http://eunu.ouremøllen.dk/eu-tidslinje/)
is blank when i want [this page](http://embed.verite.co/timeline/?source=0Agl_Dv6iEbDadHdKcHlHcTB5bzhvbF9iTWwyMmJHdkE&font=Bevan-PotanoSans&maptype=toner&lang=en&height=650)

* Your page is blank because the iframe leads to a blank page.

* I don’t understand – is [this](http://embed.verite.co/timeline/?source=0ApnNAEv3xtDldGxkV0h1VUk3SU52Q0JOU2NmVUhheVE&font=Bevan-PotanoSans&maptype=toner&lang=en&height=650)
a blank page?
* Can you please explain it to me?

* No, [this is your iframe source](http://embed.verite.co/timeline/?source=0ApnNAEv3xtDldGxkV0h1VUk3SU52Q0JOU2NmVUhheVE&font=Bevan-PotanoSans&maptype=toner&lang=en&height=650?wmode=transparent)
from your webpage.

* 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](http://www.site.com).
> You can also add parameters to this url like [http://www.site.com/test.php?iframe=true](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](http://embed.verite.co/timeline/?source=0ApnNAEv3xtDldGxkV0h1VUk3SU52Q0JOU2NmVUhheVE&font=Bevan-PotanoSans&maptype=toner&lang=en&height=650?wmode=transparent)
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?
* ``
* If i just paste the embed code it looks like [this.](http://eunu.ouremøllen.dk/eu-tidslinje/)

* Can you use the ‘src’ URL from your embed code?

* This iframe code is improper.
Try:
* ```
```
* 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](http://eunu.ouremøllen.dk/eu-tidslinje/),
and my test side [here](http://test.ouremøllen.dk/testside/)) 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](http://embed.verite.co/timeline/?source=0ApnNAEv3xtDldGxkV0h1VUk3SU52Q0JOU2NmVUhheVE&font=Bevan-PotanoSans&maptype=toner&lang=en&height=650?wmode=transparent)
* Could that change something?
