How to embed a Board on WordPress

• How to embed a Board on WordPress via the Editor
• How to embed a Board on WordPress via Google Tag Manager

A Board can be embedded on any website that was created using the WordPress.com Editor. However, if the website is hosted by WordPress.com the embed will not be able to function. This is because WordPress blocks all JavaScript instances being run on their site; this applies to Free sites and sites with a Personal or Premium plan. If you have a plugin-enabled plan (Business and Commerce), you have no limits to the code you can add. For more information, click here.

How to embed a Board on WordPress via the Editor

For security reasons, the following tags are only allowed on plugin-enabled sites:

embed, frame, iframe, form, input, object, textarea, style, link

As WordPress only allows the above tags when embedding, you would need to use an iframe method of embedding. Please be aware that putting your Board in an iFrame may disable some 

To do this, you will need to get the URL for your Board:

1. Select or search for your personalization on the right-hand side panel.  Different personalizations will give you different options. The display options are
         * Signage
   If it’s an old personalization before hyper-personalization, then it will ask you to choose Website Embed or Signage Display, as in the picture below.  For displaying your Board, choose Signage Display.
   
2. Then click next
3. Here it will give you three options, Standard Connection, Chromecast, and TINTmix.  For this, pick Standard Connection for the URL version of your board, follow the instruction,s and click Open In New Tab
4. You will get an URL which looks like this: https://www.tintup.com/app/tint/tint.html#article_board?personalization_id=1095457&fullscreen=true 
5. To put this in an iFrame, remove &fullscreen=true of the URL
6. Then you can put it in the following format - for example: 
   <iframe src="https://www.tintup.com/app/tint/tint.html#article_board?personalization_id=1095457" style="height: 500px; width: 500px;"></iframe>

 (function() { 
 /Here you need to pass the "parent element" where the TINT should be placed
var element = document.querySelector('NAME');
   if(element){
var container = document.createElement("div"); // creating the div element for a Board

container.dataset.id='TINT_BOARD_SLUG'; //Here you should add the name of the a Board as it is also presented in the web embed code

<script async src=‘https://www.tintup.com/app/dist/embedded.js’></script><div class=“tintup” data-id=“article_board” data-columns=“” data-expand=“true” style=“height: 500px; width: 100%;” data-personalization-id=“1095729" data-infinitescroll=“true”></div>

<script async src='https://www.tintup.com/app/dist/embedded.js'></script>
<script>
(function() { 
//Here we need to put the name of the parent div, in our example div1
var element = document.querySelector('div1');
if(element){
var container = document.createElement("div"); // creating the div element for a Board

container.classList.add("tintup"); //adding the class=tintup
container.dataset.id='article_board'; // adding the tintboard name
container.dataset.columns=''; //details regarding columns
container.dataset.expand='true'; //expand set as true
container.dataset.presonalization-id='1095729'; //personalization id
container.dataset.infinitescroll='true'; // infinitescroll set as true
container.style.height='500px'; //setting the height
container.style.width='100%'; //setting the width

//Now you should append the Parent element with the new div container

element.append(container);
}})();
