slideshare embed on wordpress

as of 2026

have to get numbers off link of slideshare page deck is on and put into this code

Option 1: Build the Shortcode Manually

WordPress.com still processes the shortcode perfectly; you just need to feed it SlideShare’s unique identification code.

  1. Look at the URL of your presentation on SlideShare. It will look like this: https://slideshare.net
  2. Copy the string of numbers at the very end of that link (in this example, 270352617).
  3. In your WordPress editor, add a Shortcode block and paste the following template, replacing the zeroes with your copied number:

Once you publish or preview the page, WordPress will auto-translate that ID into the full, active presentation deck

2nd option google gave.. i didn’t try

Option 2: Use the Standard Embed Code (The Iframe Method)

If you don’t want to build a manual shortcode, you can use the standard code SlideShare does provide. [1]

  1. On SlideShare, click the Share or Embed button.
  2. Copy the code block inside the Embed text box (the code that starts with <iframe ...>).
  3. Go to your WordPress block editor.
  4. Click the (+) Insert icon, search for Custom HTML, and add that block to your page.
  5. Paste the iframe code directly into the block.

Note: The Custom HTML block method works instantly for premium WordPress.com tiers (Creator/Business) and self-hosted sites. If you are on a Free or Starter WordPress.com plan, security filters will strip out iframe codes, making Option 1 (Manual Shortcode) your best option.
