How to embed Youform in WordPress?

Updated 3 days ago

To embed Youform in your WordPress site, go to any of your pages in the WordPress editor and search for Custom HTML.

Then go to your form share tab and copy the embed code. Then paste it in the WordPress Custom HTML Editor

Why my Youform is shown in the preview in WordPress but not when I publish it?

Lock

Free & Personal plans on Wordpress block certain HTML tags for safety.

This is why:

  • The iframe appears in preview mode

  • But it doesn't show after you publish


Summary: Free Plan in Wordpress = No iframe in published content

You canโ€™t use:

  • <iframe>, <form>, <input>, etc.

  • Unless you are on a Business or Commerce plan, which allows plugins and unfiltered HTML.

Your Options:

Check Mark Button

Option 1: Upgrade to Business Plan

  • Allows full HTML embedding

  • Enables plugin installation (like Shortcoder or custom block plugins)

Free Button

Option 2: Switch to WordPress.org (self-hosted)

  • Buy your own domain + hosting

  • Install full WordPress with no iframe limits

  • Full control over plugins, themes, code, etc.

Great option if you want more than just a blog โ€” and you're embedding external tools like Youform

Warning

Option 3: Link to Youform instead

Until you upgrade or switch to self hosted WP, you can add Youform as a link in your page which will open the form in a new tab.
