* Did you activated the iframe plugin? Or you just installed it?
* Do you have other plugins which use [iframe] shortcode too?
* Try to insert shortcode into content not in visual-mode, but in text-mode. Does

* Tehre is confusion in the web from what I could gather about using the shortcode
that you mention in your frame.
