- 05To add IFrames to any post or page we suggest that you use the Markup Generator (under Settings > IFrame Markup Generator ) and just copy-paste the generated markup to your Post/Page. More experienced users can just add the markup [dciframe]url,width,height,frameborder,scrolling,style[/dciframe] , for instance [dciframe]http://www.google.com,50%,50%,1,auto,border:1px solid red;[/dciframe] . Please ensure that your URL doesn’t contain any “comma” character.
