Moved to Fixing WordPress, this is not an Everything else WordPress topic.
trying to figure out why I could not post either PHP or an iFrame into a Post (with any number of plugins as well as “bare”.)
Raw PHP and HTML will never work reliably (if at all) in any post via the WordPress post editor. There’s just too many places for that code to get butchered. That’s not a theme issue.
What are you trying to insert? You may need to create or use a plugin for that.

Well, like I said…I’ve spent 6 hours trying every plugin I can find for either iframe or PHP. Cannot get anything to work. Using the following themes allows just straight code…I just don’t like these themes:
Panoramic
Twenty Sixteen
Twenty Seventeen
Trying to get either one of these methods to work:
PHP code:
<!-- HRDLOG.net script start -->
<div id="hrdlog">www.hrdlog.net</div>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.hrdlog.net/hrdlog.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var ohrdlog = new HrdLog('W4ATX');
ohrdlog.LoadByCallsign();
ohrdlog.LoadLastQso(10);
ohrdlog.DisableLinks();
</script>
iFrame:
<!-- HRDLOG.net script start -->
<iframe src="https://www.hrdlog.net/hrdlogframe.aspx?user=W4ATX&lastqso=10&qsomap=&options=search;viewdxcc;disablelinks;" width="100%" height="500" scrolling="auto"></iframe>
<!-- HRDLOG.net script stop -->
That’s not PHP. That’s JavaScript and HTML. As long as you’re an administrator user you should have no problem posting these, but you need to make sure you’re putting them in the Text view of the editor, not the Visual view.

Yes… (Duh!) you are correct. However (for whatever reason) I was never able to get it to work in the “Basic” theme. I switched to Twenty Ten and copied the code exactly as shown and it works. I guess I’ll stick with Twenty Ten! Along the way, I found the “PHP Everywhere” plugin that seemed to resolve inserting actual PHP code.
