Hello I have a metabox field called name this returns an iframe that I have placed but it returns all the code of the iframe and it was not executed. What is missing in my code to show it in the frontend?

$maintitlet =  get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'name', true );
echo $maintitle;

show the code. I have put that space because it did not allow me to publish the code iframe

<iframe src="link.html" width="670" height="500"></iframe>

• Your variable names don't match: $maintitlet and $maintitle are two different things. – fuxia ♦ Commented Jul 13, 2020 at 4:37

The output is escaped, so it will not display html, try this :

just save the value of the src attribute

<iframe src="<?php echo esc_attr__( get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'name', true ) ); ?>" width="670" height="500">
