Works as super admin but not as editor? How do I allow it for an editor or any other level of users?

I’m assuming there is something that gives different levels of users different capabilities. I remember using a function awhile back to allow certain html tags within the editor. * Does anybody know the function to allow users to use certain html tags? * [psheld](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psheld/) * (@psheld) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-embed-google-maps-iframe/#post-2592245) * Go to Settings > Media. * Under Embeds select “When possible, embed the media content from a URL directly onto the page. For example: links to Flickr and YouTube.” * Save your settings. * Now just insert the URL (eg, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymzQRIvx8Kg](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymzQRIvx8Kg)) into the visual editor for a post or page. * [psheld](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psheld/) * (@psheld) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-embed-google-maps-iframe/#post-2592246) * I should add that this feature became available in WordPress 2.9, so you should make sure you’re up to date. * Thread Starter [First Last](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kliphten/) * (@kliphten) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-embed-google-maps-iframe/#post-2592255) * Thanks for the reply! * I’m on the newest version of WordPress and I have made sure that option is selected but still no luck embedding as an editor. As an admin, though, I can embed, no problem. So something tells me that WordPress built in something to not allow users, other than admins, to embed iframes? * I’m trying to embed Google Maps and it worked fine as an admin. Then when I signed in as an editor and edited the posts, the iframe was removed (saved in “Visual” and “HTML” modes both deleted iframes). * [psheld](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psheld/) * (@psheld) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-embed-google-maps-iframe/#post-2592272) * Oh yes sorry, you did say Google Maps, not YouTube. Doh! * This thread identified a plugin, WordTwit, as a culprit.

I just can’t seem to find where they do this. * Thread Starter [First Last](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kliphten/) * (@kliphten) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-embed-google-maps-iframe/#post-2592325) * Ah, so I found this: * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Editor](http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Editor) * If you look under “unfiltered_html” it says “(not with Multisite. See Unfiltered MU)” which my site is a network/multisite. Looks like you actually need to a plugin to allow editors to post unfiltered html. * Question is, if it is possible for a super admin to post unfiltered html, how come there isn’t an easy way to put something in functions.php which allows other users to post unfiltered HTML? * EDIT: Bingo! Installing the plugin worked. Why a plugin for this? * [psheld](https://wordpress.org/support/users/psheld/) * (@psheld) * [14 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-embed-google-maps-iframe/#post-2592490) * Nice one Kliphten.
