Embedding pages with persisting Domain

  • Hello! Please let me know if this is posted in the wrong place but I believe it’s properly located.

    I wish to embed a web page, which I do not have control over, inside of one of my wordpress pages. Easy enough – there are multiple ways of doing this. However, I need for my page’s Domain to persist, once a link is clicked in the embedded page.

    I use a third party service which allows me to offer my clients a portal. They arrive at the portal login page which is currently embedded in my wordpress and enter their email, then when they click next, the page opens a new tab that asks for their password. The new tab uses the service provider’s domain. I understand that this is currently how the service provider intends for their portal to operate, but they are actively working on a way to allows users to accomplish what I am hoping to do here. I just wished to solve it ahead of time for myself.

    What I need is for my page URL/Domain/Menu Bar at the very least to persist and for the links and such to load into the embedded section. Fully white-labeled and leaving the user with easy menu access on my website.

    Does wordpress have any way in which this can be accomplished via a custom script or existing plugin?

    Thank you anyone who can help! ??

    Try this out:

    <iframe src=”url of required page”>
    </iframe>

    Shaylee,

    An iframe won’t do the job. While this will indeed embed the initial page, when a link within that embedded page is clicked, it will navigate to that destination, abandoning the page it is embedded within. I am looking for a way within wordpress that let’s my domain persist when these links are clicked.

    Example:

    On page “www.ads-software.com/test” the page “apple.com” is embedded. When a user clicks a link in the embedded page, it naturally takes their browser to “apple.com/blahblah”. I do not want the user to navigate away from my website and my domain. I want “apple.com/blahblah to load INSIDE the embedded section, so the Domain in the address bar remains “www.ads-software.com/test”

    Heck, maybe there is a way to do this where my site’s URL dynamically changes in order to dynamically change the embed code? Similar to how the WHMCS Bridge plugin embeds WHMCS into a wordpress page? Any ideas?

    Is it possible for me to see the both websites? The one that contains the embed ( theoretically ) and the embedded one itself?

    Logically if you have an embedded webpage and you are clicking links on that webpage they are going to go where the links want them to go. So you would need to change the links within the embed in order to have them direct to the place you want them to go.

    Is it more complicated than that or am I missing something?

    The site is currently locked so I can’t give you a working link.
    And yes, your understanding is correct. But I want to “override” how that normally operates. I can’t change the code on the page I am embedding because I do not control that page. So I am seeking some way to manipulate this from my end. I don’t know if such a way exists besides a lot of javascript. Like I said, I essentially need the functionality of the WHMCS Bridge plugin.

    As far as I know, iframes will not allow one domain to manipulate another. So iframes can’t be the answer.
