 * Hi to all,
    I am building a plugin (hope to be availabe for download later) and
   a very important part of it is an iframe. That iframe loads an html page working
   with an obfuscated javascript file. It needs to use an iframe because of Facebook
   conditions that all request must come from a registered domain. All functions
   in that javascript will not work on client’s website after installing the plugin,
   this is the only way.
 * My question is if the plugin will be accepted by reviewer so that it will be 
   available to install.
 * Thank you

 * No, it won’t. Don’t do what you are planning on doing. Obfuscation is not for
   any code in the WordPress.org repository, it goes against open source and the
   GPL.

 * It sounds to me like the obfuscated JavaScript isn’t part of the plugin though.
   It’s hosted in whatever site is iframed by the plugin. Is that right [@tudorelg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tudorelg/)?

 * Yes Jacob you are correct, the html and javascript are not files that will be
   part of the .zip

 * My friends, in the end is it ok to use iframe? I will drop the idea of obfuscating
   the javascript
 * I am forced to use an iframe because because of Facebook conditions
 * Thank you

 * The best answer would come from emailing plugins (at) wordpress (dot) org
