site is .org

Could you just answer a simple question. The website is a .org and is built from www.ads-software.com. I am updating pages using blocks. Why can’t I follow the WordPress instructions for embedding a map into a site . ?

There is a block for custom html so why can’t simply copy and paste into that ?

I am truly a beginner at this and don’t understand why adding the map has to be so complicated.

Do I need the administrator to check I have permissions to paste html?

@threadi I used the intructions on https://wordpress.com/support/google-maps/

Using WordPress 6.6. Using Safari as a Browser. Have cleared cache and have made sure pop ups and add ons are enabled.

I used the block editor to copy the html code into . That is what the WordPress article instructs.

https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/embed?mid=1Zf2YyI3aiYTkS3SEzeLafopLbbC0EJU&ehbc=2E312F

I press save . I go to look at the page and there is no map. When I press edit page again the html code is missing from the block.

I am not trying anything clever , I have absolutely no coding experience. I am following basic instructions. My colleague has set up the site I do some basic text editing of pages, uploading phots and simple posts.
