 * Sorry if this is not the correct forum…didn’t see one specific to themes.
    New
   to WP. I just spent about 6 hours (literally) 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”.) I was using the “Basic” theme…finally thought to try another theme!
   Tried Twenty Sixteen and it worked right off the bat without any plugin needed.
   So… how do I determine if a given theme will act as Twenty Sixteen does in allowing
   code or knowing which will work properly with either a PHP plugin or an iFrame
   plugin without just downloading/activating every them available? Basic obviously
   has issues with those kinds of plugins…

 * 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.
