Hi I am trying to embed the following into my Forum Posts, using the HTML button, however when I do this and click Update all I get is the red text the rest is removed from the HTML editor?

<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=108538397837883689853.00047e05d707eed4ce59c&amp;t=h&amp;ll=51.591264,-0.430556&amp;spn=0.004639,0.003991&amp;output=embed"></iframe><br /><small>View <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;msa=0&amp;msid=108538397837883689853.00047e05d707eed4ce59c&amp;t=h&amp;ll=51.591264,-0.430556&amp;spn=0.004639,0.003991&amp;source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">Kayak Routes</a> in a larger map</small>

thats because iframes arent allowed in the post content… currently not supported… there are plugins out there for google maps that use a wp shortcode. those should work in post content.

I might be being stupid but could you tell me how to insert a shortcode into a post so that it displays? I've downloaded and enabled the plugin but it's eluding me.
