PageView is a plugin that will display another web page inside the current post. This is achieved with the use of an iframe – an HTML tag that allows a webpage to be displayed inline with the current page. Although an iframe can lead to a complicated website, it can be very effective when used appropriately.
Installation
- Download PageView
- Unzip
- Copy to your
/wp-content/pluginsdirectory - Activate plugin
You can find full details of installing a plugin on the plugin installation page.
Usage
Insert iframes using WordPress shortcode syntax.
[[pageview url="http://some.place"]]
URL is a required parameter. The following are optional parameters:
title– A short title for the iframedesc– A description for the iframewidth– The width of the iframe. Defaults to 100%, and can be specified in percent or pixel format (100px or 100%)height– As above, but for heightborder– ‘yes’ or ‘no’, defaults to ‘no’scrolling– Whether to display scroll bars, ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘auto. Defaults to ‘no’
For example:
[[pageview url="http://apple.com" height="400px" border="yes']]
[pageview url=”http://apple.com” height=”400px” border=”yes”]
Note: The plugin still supports the older pre-1.5 syntax:
[[pageview http://some.place "title" description]]
Hi,
Is it possible to specify the starting point using some parameter. Sometime, I would like to display only some area in middle of target page.
Thank you,
Pornpoj
No it is not possible.
Hi there,
Love the plugin. Thanks for building it! Everything looks great on my laptop, but when I checked it on my iphone, it all goes a bit crazy. The iframe seems to be pushing out too wide causing the parent page to break. It’s a bit tricky to explain, but it looks like the iframe content fills up the screen nicely, which the parent page gets squished to only fill half the screen. Also the height of the framed page gets cut off where it looks fine on the laptop. I tried setting the height to 100% but that didn’t work out for me.
Here’s an example of an offending page:

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Great plugin, thank you.
Sorry my english.
I need to show a heigth autoadjustable iframe from an external domain. I have changed “$height = ‘400px’;” by “$height = ‘100%’;” but it start working bad.
What can I do?
It’s not possible to do this.
Hi!
I’ve been using pageview for a while and wonder if there is a way
to change the z-index for the page that is showed. I have a page
with a swf that cover the the menu of my wordpressinstallation.
I have tried to change z-index for post in wordpress but with no
success.
I see the plugin working on your page, in mine I keep getting the following message on WordPress 3.2.1
This content cannot be displayed in a frame
To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I don’t know what you are trying to show in the iframe, but the error message is likely from your browser, so it doesn’t like it.
Hi, I installed pageview and it shows the page fine. But if I click through a few links it goes out of my website frame and to the actual website. Is there a way to remedy this?
Nope, it’s how your browser works.
Does the header have to go in the page that is in the iframe? Or just in the page holding the iframe?
I’m not sure what you mean?
You are the man!! My goal was to show the header of the main website on our blog, but I could never get past php execution security and absolute path issues. Looked at a ton of posts and attempted implementing it in countless ways, but nothing did the trick. Your plugin, my friend, was just what I needed.
Thanks so much!
Great plugin.
Is there a way to add a background color to the embedded page?
http://janinefondiller.com/classesworkshops
The original page was on a white background and the new location has a dark background. thus the text is hard to read. Ideally, I would like to have a white background with a 75% opacity.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, you are just embedding the page – it can’t be changed.
Hi there, great plugin, thanks a lot. My question to the board: Does anyone of you have an idea whether I can display the i-frame with rounded borders? This would look really nice for video-player (streaming).
Thanks for your ideas
Best
DAniel
The iframe is styled according to the CSS on your site. If it has rounded borders then you should look there.
Great plug. Thanks so much!
I’ve had the same problem as many above. Tried everything but nothing worked eventhough I had the right.
The key, in my case, is just; edit/place code in HTML mode. Not in the WYSIWYG area.
That’s all. It works as a charm.
I’ve placed a seperate HTML page within a WordPress page: http://www.eamel.net/blog/links-rjochts/
That must be: “eventhough I had the CODE right”. Sorry for that.
Is it possible using this plugin to pass parameters from the URL to the iFrame?
We are developing some forms using Salesforce Sites technology and want to embed these into the customers pages. We have found this solution for Drupal: http://drupal.org/project/iframe_page which works well and we are now looking for a WordPress solution.
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to use the Iframe to incorporate in to my site. Is there any way that your Iframe can be the same hight as the Iframe page that I am incorporating. Meaning a dynamic iframe that allows your costumers to not nave to scroll. I have used height=”100%” to height=”400%” with no change.
If you would be able to help me on tis that would be great I really line this plugin. it simple to use but I just need this question answered so I can move on.
Regards,
Rick
Great plugin, working well except the height of the iframe is not tall enough:
http://getaflatbelly.us/
How do I make it taller?
Wait, nevermind. Found it. thx
function shortcode( $attrs, $content = null, $code = ” ) {
$title = $desc = $url = ”;
$height = ‘800px’;
$width = ‘100%’;
$border = ‘no’;
$scrolling = ‘no’;
Looks like a cool plugin, but not sure if you are still active and was hoping your plugin could do what i need.
I want to be able to reduce the size of the external page i want in the iframe so that i dont have to use scollbars.
Is this possible?
Much appreciated.
How come the page shows within my post for 2 seconds then it opens up the actual URL/Page I am trying to embed? I want it embedded, not for it to open it…
That is probably the website using an iframe breaker. I’m afraid there is nothing you can do about it – the website doesn’t want you iframeing their site.
Is it possible to get the iframe to only show the center of the page, instead of starting from the corners?
This is something that the web page inside the iframe will need to do. It’s not possible to do it from the iframe itself
i want to know how can i add css to that i frame which is coming by this plugin because the page which i am showing on another site using this plugin i dont want to show 2 div like header or footer in the content of the . help me to resolve this problem
It’s not possible to add CSS inside the iframe unless you have control of the page.
