Embeded HTML code disappearing

Question

Issue is that the embeded web maps I have on our website seem to disappear after a few days, specifically the iframe code. The "view larger map" code and link remain, but everything within the <iframe> code just magically disappears. So once or twice a week I have to open that web map and re-copy the html code into the webpage.

Not sure if this is a bug or an issue with my site. We recently moved our site to wordpress from a local hosting provider, but this issue happened even on the previous website. It just seems to be occurring more now that we're on wordpress.

Link to one page this is happening.

Any ideas why the code just randomly removes itself from my site?

This was solved by installing a wordpress plugin called iframe and it codes it in such a way that the map code won't be removed.

I too need a way to embed an online map into our Wordpress site but it does not appear to be an option right now.Apparently, Wordpress doesn't like the iframe code that the online map uses. Search the Wordpress's forums and you can get some more details but there doesn't seem to be any sort of work around at this point. It'd be great of ESRI and Wordpress could communicate a bit to make this work as their both aware of the issue. Wordpress does support some iframe code but only approved types, google maps for instance, so it might help to urge Wordpress to put ArcGIS on their approval list.

The embed code should not be impacted by changes to the webmap.
