Summary: This guide provides a straightforward, step-by-step approach to embedding third-party content—such as forms, videos, widgets, or Google calendars—onto any webpage in Sites by utilizing the 'Source code' button within the text editor.
Before You Begin
- You must have the necessary permissions to access and edit your Site.
- Obtain the embed code for your form, video, or widget from the external source (e.g., Eventbrite, PayPal, Wufoo Forms, YouTube, Vimeo).
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Go to the page you want to edit on your site.
2. Click the 'Source code' button in the text editor within a block.
3. Paste the embed code in the source code area.
4. Click 'OK'. [This closes the source code window and inserts the code into the editor.]
5. Save the page to see the changes applied to your website.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
- The embedded content is not displaying correctly: Ensure you pasted the entire, correct embed code obtained from the external source.
- I'm having issues embedding code using Internet Explorer: If you encounter problems, try using another browser such as Google Chrome to complete the embed process.
- The embed code is showing as text, not a form/video: You must click the 'Source code' button (Step 2) to open the correct area for pasting HTML/JavaScript; pasting raw code directly into the regular editor will treat it as text.
