Disable automated characters in HTML code

  • WordPress 3.5.1 is converting my enewsletter form code to include random occurrences of <p> and </p> as well as & # 038; for ampersands that are meant to be simple ampersands (not & amp ;).

    I’m trying to find a way to suppress such transformations. Do you know of any solutions? (by the way, I’ve spent about 2 hours reading everything I can about former complaints and fixes, but everything I’ve come across is either about curly quotation marks that untexturizes or no solution)

    Update your theme and see if it helps. If not replace it with a freshly downloaded unedited copy and see.

    Backup everything first.

    Thanks for your reply, Krishan. I’ve backed up my site, and then updated twenty-twelve theme (it was the only one displaying an update-now box to click, but my theme is Switch v1.1 by Adrian Diaconescu, and I do not see where I can update that one.

    If you’re suggesting that I re-upload Switch from the zip file I got after I bought it, then that’s not a very simple fix to this issue, because I would have to go back and re-customize everything (which includes horizontal-spacing changes I made to the CSS), right?

    According to the search results I get when I type in & # 038;, there are many other users who are suffering from this same magical code appearance snafu (<p> randomly and && changed to & # 038; & # 038;) that’s wreaking havoc with my externally supplied form code. Is there any other solution besides re-downloading the theme and re-configuring it?

    Not really, if the characters are outputted by the theme. Only reverting to the default WordPress theme or viewing the site with an unedited copy of the theme can tell what exactly causes those characters appear.
