I am looking to integrate an Airtable Base into my WordPress blog. However, when I use the embed code provided by Airtable, it leaves a blank area on my page. Does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
Sample Embed Code:
<iframe class="custom-airtable" src="https://airtable.com/embed/somethingElse?backgroundColor=blue" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="500" style="background: transparent; border: 1px solid #999;"></iframe>
I appreciate any assistance you can offer.
oh, I had this issue too! Try checkking if another plugin is causing conflict, some caching plugins can block the iframe. Disable them one by one to see if new issue persists. good luck!
Another approach you might consider is using a WordPress plugin specifically designed to integrate Airtable with WordPress. For example, “Airpress” is a plugin that allows you to connect Airtable data directly into WordPress pages without using iFrames. This can sometimes avoid the issue of blank areas appearing. The plugin fetches data from Airtable and you can use shortcodes to display that data in your posts, giving you more control over the appearance and functioning of your Airtable integration.
If neither disabling plugins nor using a dedicated plugin like Airpress resolves the issue, you might want to check your theme settings or custom CSS that could be affecting the visibility of the iframe. Some themes or CSS rules might inadvertently hide it, especially if certain classes or IDs clash. Also, ensure that JavaScript libraries such as jQuery are loading correctly, as these might be required for proper rendering. Sometimes adding a z-index property to the iframe style can also help in making the content visible if it’s being overshadowed by other page elements.
maybe the size of the iframe is not suitable for your theme layout. Try adjusting the height & width in a more appropriate scale or manually in your css file! Sometimes themes have a hard time rendering exact dimensions, leading to blanks. Cheers!
