Visual editor unreliable

    Initially, this plugin worked fine. After 1 day of use, the following issues surfaced:

    1. Code entered through the “text” view (in this case, a simple <span> tag with a class for Font Awesome) vanished when switching back to visual editor. Sort of defeats the purpose of the plugin.

    2. Unable to enter content in the visual editor via Customizer…this only works from “text” view. Again, sort of defeats the purpose of the plugin.

    Can these be patched in a future update?

    Hi David,

    1. It is not a plugin’s fault. It depends on a WP core bug that won’t be fixed. See this ticket for details. As a workaround WP devs recommend to use <i> tags in place of <span> tags.

    Therefore, one way to work around this would be to not use <span> tags, but <i> tags (which by the way is what most CSS libraries use for font icons)

    2. There could be a conflict with another plugin causing it. Please read our FAQ about troubleshooting.

    Thanks, Marco!

    1. Correct…changing <span> tags to <i> tags resolved the issue. I didn’t think of doing that because <span>’s are more semantically correct, but…there you go. In any case, it’s behaving as expected now.

    2. Correct…this was a plugin conflict, specifically with JP Widget Visibility. It would be interesting to test this with the full Jetpack suite and see if the issue reproduces with this module activated there, as well. In any case, Widget Logic achieves the same (and more) functionality with no apparent conflict.

    Thanks for the assist!
