What should I do if the secure iFrame option is not appearing in the Nexter Extension?

If the secure iFrame option isn't visible, ensure that you have the latest version of the Nexter Extension installed. Sometimes, outdated versions may not display all features. Additionally, check if the extension is activated in your WordPress dashboard under Nexter > Extensions. If issues persist, consider reinstalling the extension.

What is the best practice for setting iFrame security in WordPress?

The best practice for iFrame security is to assess your content sharing needs. If you want to restrict embedding, use the 'Deny' option. If you need to allow certain sites, consider 'Same Origin'. Regularly review your settings to adapt to any changes in your content strategy. This approach helps protect your content while still allowing necessary access.
