How can I display the URL content using the EMBED in a container with the code set to Webflow? It currently only shows the link on the page.

TL;DR
  • Add an Embed element in Webflow and open its settings.
  • Insert the correct embedding code from the external source and ensure compatibility with Webflow.
  • Modify the code as needed, avoiding unsupported HTML tags, and publish the page to verify correct display and responsiveness.

When embedding external content in Webflow, simply pasting a URL might only display the link rather than the content itself. To embed the actual content, follow these steps:

​

1. Use the Embed Element

  • Add an Embed element to your Webflow project where you want the content to appear.
  • Open the Embed Settings by clicking on the element.

​

2. Insert Correct Embedding Code

  • Determine the correct embedding code from the external source. For example, many sites provide specific embed codes for their content.
  • Paste the provided embed code into the Embed settings panel. Make sure not to accidentally add raw code tags that Webflow doesn't support.

​

3. Adjust the Embed Code

  • Modify the code if needed to fit into the Webflow environment. Ensure that any URLs or scripts are properly referenced.
  • Avoid using unsupported HTML tags or attributes. For example, the loading="lazy" attribute is acceptable for images.

​

4. Verify and Test

  • Publish the page to see if the embedded content displays correctly.
  • Test on different devices to ensure responsive behavior.

​

Summary

To display URL content using an Embed in Webflow, add an Embed element and insert the correct embedding code from the third-party source. Always ensure to modify and test the code for responsiveness and compatibility with Webflow.
