Thank you for your extensive response. I will follow up your suggestions and warnings.

That is not the main issue. I assume (based on trial) that the suffix .php is not recognized under wordpress, so I named the sandbox script just “myscript”. It looks like this:

[insert_php]
echo ‘Server date and time is: ‘;
echo date(‘l, F j, Y \a\t G:i:s’);
echo ‘<br> </br>’;
echo ‘Hallo ‘ . $_GET[“name”] . ‘!’;
[/insert_php]

If I call it as …/myscript it does give the date and says Hallo; if I say …/myscript?name=anna
it produces a 404 error.

Resolved!
Sorry, I took the (visual) HTML editor on the Dashboard for a verbatim text editor…

I encouter the same (beginner’s) problem: PHP code is executed in the title but not in the text part of a post. And I *did* edit it with the text editor. Here is:
TITLE: Test PHP <?php echo “uuu”; ?>
TEXT: Hallo: <?php echo “vvv”; ?>

RESULT:
Test PHP uuu

Hallo: <?php echo ?vvv“; ?>
