The WordPress iFrame plugin allows you to add iframes and embed content onto your site. It is an automatically activated plugin on tarheels.live, web.unc.edu and sites.unc.edu networks.
Adding iframes can introduce accessibility barriers to your website. Use iframes and embedded content sparingly. You must include a title attribute that summarizes the visual content to help users of screen readers understand the iframe's purpose. Reach out to the Digital Accessibility Office for more guidance.
Instructions
iFrames must be converted to a shortcode in order to work on UNC WordPress environments. Essentially any carats <iframe></iframe> in the code must be converted to brackets [iframe] [/iframe].
Example Code:
[iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/4qsGTXLnmKs" width="100%" height="500″ title=“brief description of video’s content”]
Tip: If using the Block Editor/Gutenberg choose the
Shortcode block to insert your iFrame code.
