I'm trying to add an iframe into a content editor whilst editing a view, but I can't save the view.
When I disable Wordfence, I CAN save it.
I tried this on a different view and got a popup warning message from Wordfence: I clicked to allow that operation, then I COULD save that view with the iframe.
However, Wordfence still won't let me save the view/content template where I really DOo want to include the iframe.
I can get around this by disabling Wordfence, but I thought you should know about it.
Here's a video showing it happening.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
Based on the steps shown in your video, I performed some tests on a clean test website with default Wordfence settings and couldn't reproduce this behavior. In my tests, I tried to save the iframe code in:
1. View's loop
2. A content template used for a view's loop
3. In single content template assigned to a post type
4. Directly in page/post content
In order to investigate this further, it would be interesting to test this with all extra plugins disabled and with a default theme like Twenty Twenty. It is possible that some third-party plugin or theme's code is somehow changing the iframe code in the content while saving, which in turn triggers Wordfence's suspicion.
Note: Please also look out for any errors/warnings in the server's error log.
Let me know how it goes and if you notice something else.
regards,
Waqar
Thanks, Waqar
I had to re-create the content template for other reasons, and then pasted in the iframe. This time, instead of failing to save, I received the 'normal' warning message from Wordfence, clicked "Allow" (or something similar) and it stopped complaining.
Seems to have been some peculiar combination of conditions that I can no longer reproduce.
Thanks for looking into it, Waqar.
Alex
