2. How can I setup an embedded Travel Pack to appear within a Wordpress post?
First, it’s important to point out that Wordpress doesn’t support using iFrame’s by default within pages, posts, and other places, which is required for an embedded Travel Pack to work.
PLEASE NOTE: This only works for Wordpress.org, not blogs hosted on Wordpress.com.
You will need to download a plug-in that adds support for the iFrame HTML tag to Wordpress – the one used for this example is called Embed iFrame. To learn how to install a plug-in on your blog, you can check out the excellent tutorial on the Wordpress site.
Once the plug-in is installed and activated, as covered in the tutorial, you are going to want to login to your PlanetEye account and visit to your profile by clicking on your username as shown below.
Accessing Your PlanetEye Profile
You can also access your profile page by going to http://www.planeteye.com/member/your-username. For example, if your username was PEBuzz, your profile URL would be: http://www.planeteye.com/member/pebuzz.
Once at your profile, you can select the Travel Pack you would like to embed in to your Wordpress page or post from the list provided.
Accessing a Travel Pack from Your Profile
Once you are viewing the Travel Pack page, look for the “Embed Travel Pack” link as shown below.

This will pop-up a window that includes the URL you need to place the Travel Pack in to your Wordpress post. Simply copy the URL from the HTML snippet as shown below.
Copy URL for Travel Pack
Because you have installed and activated the plug-in that allows you to embed iFrames in to posts or pages, you can now include the following code to have your Travl Pack appear.
PLEASE NOTE: You will want to ensure the HTML tab within the post or page editor is selected before using the examples provided below.
