Allowing iFrames in a multisite wordpress

I was wondering how to prevent wordpress from cleaning iframes from post content.

I have a site which uses an iframe to hold a booking form, but when anyone except a super admin edits the page the iframe code gets removed. Thanks,

Andy

This exact topic has been covered on Stack Exchange

The plugin is out of date but still works, as far as I know. The more recent answer, which includes a plugin-free solution, may be more to your taste:

Hi there Andy,

Hope you’re well today and thanks for your question.

For this all your users need the unfiltered_html capability, but this is extremely unsafe to give to all users, the html won’t be filtered and they can do whatever they like.

If you do want to do this, I have just tested this extremely old plugin here http://wordpress.org/plugins/unfiltered-mu/ and it still seemed to work for me, but I’d recommend testing on a sandbox/test install first.

Thanks!

Kind Regards

Jack.

The deed is done, and works perfectly:

add_shortcode('book', array('iframe_shortcode', 'shortcode'));

class iframe_shortcode {

function shortcode($atts, $content=null) {

extract(shortcode_atts(array(

'url'      => '',

'scrolling'      => 'yes',

'width'      => '680',

'height'      => '850',

'frameborder'      => '0',

'marginheight'      => '0',

), $atts));

if (empty($url)) return '<!-- Iframe: You did not enter a valid URL -->';

return '<iframe src="'.$url.'" title="" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$height.'" scrolling="'.$scrolling.'" frameborder="'.$frameborder.'" marginheight="'.$marginheight.'"><a href="'.$url.'" target="_blank">'.$url.'</a></iframe>';

}

}

and I can now use the book short code to enter the require url.
