How to Embed Google Spreadsheets in WordPress

February 13, 2014 By barrie@compassdesigns.net 3 Comments

Google Docs and Spreadsheets offer an easy way to embed them in a webpage using an iFrame. You just copy and past the text into your site, whatever it’s built with, and voila.

Trouble is they look like crap.

There is a better way though, depending on what CMS you are using.

The solution is to using a plugin to embed the Google Docs (in my case a spreadsheet) without using an iFrame.

I used Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer, Version 0.3.2, by “Mr. Meitar Moscovitz.

Once installed, you insert WordPress shortcode like this:

[gdoc key="0Auv4S5mfstuwdDhiU2hzTTE2c3VZUW5TVnVGckNXOWc" gid="1" header_rows="1"]

 

The result is a lean HTML table that you can style with CSS if you like.

You can see it at work here:

The Skinny

I am an entrepreneur, web consultant, author and educator.

I have been involved in starting a K-12 School District, a Private High School, and three web tech companies. I also wrote one of the original and best selling books on Joomla.

And I like sailing with kids.
