 * I downloaded wordpress 4.2.2 and add isert PHP plugin 1.3 after configured wordpress.
   
   Then I follow WP Specialist indications add code to test page as blow: [insert_php]
   echo ‘test’;[/insert_php] Click view / preview to show the page, I saw same words
   on browser as what typed in text area exactly as above. I use EXEC PHP on another
   wordpress site, which works very well. But wordpress said EXEC PHP had been updated
   over 2 years. Anybody has idea to solve this issue? Is there some other plugin
   can I use? I tried PHP code Widget, also won’t work.
 * Thanks very much

 * Lawrence, the code in your question works okay when pasted into a post or page.
   Use the Text tab, not Visual, when you paste the Insert PHP code.
 * Insert PHP will not work in widgets, only in posts or pages.
 * I don’t know what WP Specialist is. If it’s a plugin, perhaps it’s being used
   in a manner it wasn’t intended or perhaps it and Insert PHP won’t work together.

 * Hi Will
    A quick question. I am trying with the same code `[insert_php]echo '
   test';[/insert_php]` But I see nothing. Worth mention I am using Visual Composer
   Is there anything else I have to consider? Best regards

 * Sorry, if you use Visual Composer, you can’t use Insert PHP. They don’t play 
   nice together.
 * Will
