How to Embed a Google Doc in WordPress Step-by-Step

Integrating Google Docs content into your WordPress site is simple using the built-in embed feature. Just follow these quick steps:

1. Open the Google Doc you want to embed and click File > Publish to web
2. Go to the Embed tab and copy the provided iframe HTML code
3. Edit the WordPress post or page where you want to add the doc
4. Switch to the code editor view and paste in the iframe code where the doc should appear
5. Save and preview the embedded Google Doc on your site

Keep in mind, the embedded doc will have limited customization options with this method. You can't easily adjust the size, interactive features, or visual styling. The Google Doc's sharing permissions also need to allow public access.

While not as flexible as using a plugin, the native Google Docs embed gets the job done quickly. It works well for occasionally adding view-only documents to WordPress posts or pages.

WordPress Plugins Provide Advanced Google Docs Embedding Options

While Google's built-in embed feature works for basic needs, WordPress plugins give you much more flexibility and control when integrating Google Docs content. With the right plugin, you can:

• Directly connect your Google account to quickly access and embed files
• Embed various Google Drive file types like documents, sheets, slides, and forms
• Customize the embed's appearance and behavior, like size and interactivity
• Set access controls, like password protection, to restrict who can view the doc
• Browse and insert Google Drive files without leaving the WordPress editor

Using a plugin does require some initial setup compared to manual embedding. But you gain a more seamless workflow, advanced features, and granular controls to get your desired embedding result.

For example, the popular Google Drive Embedder plugin allows you to easily integrate any Google Drive file and customize the embed settings. You can adjust the size, enable or disable interactive features, password protect the content, and more - all from within WordPress.

Plugins create a bridge to connect your Google Docs and WordPress sites together. They streamline the process to embed files and provide fine-tuned options to control how the content appears and functions on your site.
