Can't get wordpress admin section to load inside iframe

by webpeon Posted: 13 years ago 3 replies

I have a wordpress blog iframed into a facebook tab but cant seem to get any of the links to work in the admin bar.

The admin bar works fine when accessed directly on the site, but not through the iframe.

Is this normal, is there a fix?

Was it working before?

Is it in draft? or published?

Sometimes I have found this not to work in draft but after publish it is fine.

This is normal, it's a security precaution.

By default WordPress sends an HTTP header to prevent iframe embedding.
Example:
Code:
```
function send_frame_options_header() {
	@header( 'X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN' );
}
```
wp-includes/default-filters.php:
Code:
```
add_action( 'login_init', 'send_frame_options_header', 10, 0 );
add_action( 'admin_init', 'send_frame_options_header', 10, 0 );
```
You could disable these but it's a BAD IDEA as you'll open yourself up to clickjacking and some real security risks.
