How to Fix HTML Editing

In case anyone else was trying to get HTML editing to work, and ran into the problem of the HTML output being rewritten, I figured out a way of removing all HTML post-processing:

1. Edit the file wp-includes/post-template.php

2. Comment out the two lines below:

function the_content($more_link_text = ‘(more…)’, $stripteaser = 0, $more_file = ”) {
$content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser, $more_file);
# $content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content);
# $content = str_replace(‘]]>’, ‘]]>’, $content);
echo $content;
}

Maybe this has been posted before on the forum, but I spent hours searching and couldn’t find it. Before I made this hack any HTML I entered into the HTML editor had line breaks inserted in the middle of everything.
