Chess Publisher does not work on WordPress.com
By admin on Jan 6, 2008 in About
Sorry to say this but both Chess Publisher version 1 and version 2 does not work on the free blog service - WordPress.com.
WordPress.com themselves do not allow iframes which is required for Chess Publisher ver 1 and 2 to work. They state that iframe is not allowed for security reasons. As far as I know, this is the only free blogging service that disallows iframe. Blogger/Blogspot allows it.

I don’t know how long ago you posted this but I use Wordpress 2.3.3 and I have no problems using Chesspublisher or iframes within posts. Maybe they have upgraded to include this support?

Hi ctservices, thanks for using ChessPublisher.
You misunderstood. ChessPublisher certainly works on self hosted WordPress blogs.
The problem is with WordPress.com. You see..
WordPress.com offers free blog hosting under their “WordPress.com” domain, eg: ctservices.wordpress.com. Hence these free blog websites have limitations such as disallowing iFrame tags.
Other freely hosted sites like blogger has no such problem.
