Hey everyone! I’m struggling to get my Airtable database to show up on my Wordpress blog. I’ve tried using the embed code that Airtable provides but all I’m seeing is a big empty space where the table should be. It’s driving me nuts!
I’ve double-checked that the URL is correct and that the database is set to public. Any ideas what might be going wrong? Maybe there’s a plugin I need or some special Wordpress settings?
Really appreciate any help you can give. I’m not super tech-savvy, so please explain like I’m five! Thanks a bunch!
Have you considered using a dedicated Airtable integration plugin for WordPress? There are several options available that can simplify the process and provide more robust functionality than a basic iframe embed. One popular choice is ‘WP Airtable’, which allows you to create custom queries and display Airtable data in various formats on your site.
Another potential issue could be related to your WordPress theme or other plugins interfering with the iframe display. Try temporarily switching to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-Three to see if that resolves the problem. If it does, you’ll know there’s a conflict with your current theme that needs addressing.
Lastly, ensure your Airtable base permissions are set correctly. Sometimes, even when a base is public, certain view settings can prevent proper embedding. Double-check these settings in your Airtable account.
hey noah, have u tried using the airtable block plugin for wordpress? its pretty simple to use. just install it, grab the embed url from airtable, and plop it into the block editor. worked like a charm for me when i had similar issues. also, make sure your airtable view is set to public sharing. good luck!
I faced a similar issue in the past and found a solution that worked well for me. Instead of using a raw iframe, I installed the Airtable Embed Block plugin from the WordPress repository. After copying the embed URL from Airtable’s share option, I simply added it within the block designed for Airtable in WordPress. This approach ensured that the table displayed correctly, handled responsiveness nicely, and updated automatically when the Airtable base changed. I also recommend checking the browser console for any error messages in case cross-origin issues are affecting the output.
