AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
iframe is a well-rated WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Embed category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 56 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

[iframe src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/7_nAZQt9qu0″ width=”100%” height=”500″] shortcode
should show something like this:
WordPress removes iframe html tags because of security reasons.
Iframe shortcode is the replacement of the iframe html tag and accepts the same params as iframe html tag does.
You may use iframe shortcode to embed content from YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps or from any external page.
If you need to embed content from YouTube, Vimeo, SlideShare, SoundCloud, Twitter via direct link, you may use [embed]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_nAZQt9qu0[/embed] shortcode.
[embed] shortcode is a core WordPress feature and can embed content from many resources via direct link.
Important: You can not embed HTTP pages into HTTPS pages and vice versa.
So the protocol (http or httpS) for parent and embedded page should match.
