Embed a Google Doc in WordPress

Embedding a Google Doc in WordPress can streamline collaboration, display real-time updates, and make your content management workflow much smoother. Whether you want to share reports, guides, or collaborative content, using Google Docs with WordPress offers convenience and accessibility. In this post, we’ll explore a simple way to embed your Google Docs in WordPress, including an even faster method using Docswrite.com, a website that allows you to publish Google Docs to WordPress in just one click.

Step 1: Prepare Your Google Doc

Before embedding, ensure your Google Doc is ready for sharing. Open your document, then click File > Share > Get link . Set the link access to Anyone with the link can view to ensure your WordPress visitors can see the content.

Step 2: Get the Embed Code from Google Docs

Google Docs offers an embed option:

• Click File > Share > Publish to the web .

• Choose the Embed tab.

• Copy the iframe code provided.

This iframe code allows you to insert your document directly into a WordPress page or post, maintaining the formatting and live updates from the Google Doc.

Step 3: Embed the Google Doc in WordPress

To add the Google Doc to your WordPress site:

• Open the WordPress editor and navigate to the page or post where you want the doc to appear.

• Switch to the HTML or Code block (if using the block editor).

• Paste the iframe code you copied from Google Docs.

• Preview your page to ensure the document displays correctly.

While this method works, it can be a bit manual, especially if you regularly update your document. That’s where Docswrite.com comes in.

Step 4: Publish Google Docs to WordPress in One Click

Docswrite is a website—not a plugin—that simplifies the entire process. Instead of copying iframe codes or manually updating posts:

• Go to Docswrite.com and log in.

• Connect your WordPress site.

• Select the Google Doc you want to publish.

• Click Publish , and Docswrite will automatically create a WordPress post with your Google Doc content, preserving formatting, images, and links.

This method eliminates the need for iframe embedding, making it faster and more reliable, especially for content that changes frequently.

Step 5: Update and Manage Your Docs

One of the advantages of using Docswrite is the ability to update your WordPress content easily. When you update your Google Doc, you can republish through Docswrite, ensuring your website always has the latest version.
