MCE Does Not Have HTML View Button

    I’m running WordPress 4.9.4 running Hueman Child theme, and then post editor ( MCE ) has buttons for Visual view and Text view , but not HTML view.

    How can I get the HTML view back? More specifically, I’m trying to paste the HTML generated by the Amazon Associates program’s “image and text” option, but I don’t see a way to do it using the MCE.

    I haven’t needed the HTML in the paste, so I’m not sure that it was ever there. Hopefully I’m just missing a checkbox somewhere in settings that will enable HTLM view in the MCE.

    I’ve seen screenshots of editors with the HTML view button, so I think it’s possible to get it.

    Text view will display the raw html code instead of rendering it to display the Amazon Associates product ad. That is why I need the HTML view.

    OK, the Text view = HTML view threw me. I’m used to HTML pages starting and ending with <html> tags, then <head> tag,, <body> tag, and so on. The text view doesn’t have those tags so I assumed it was some kind of wiki markup language based on HTML.

    With that out of the way, I still cannot get the code generated by Amazon to work. I tried pasting it at the end of a blog post and it’s not visible when I preview the page. The problem may be that preview cannot display it. Here is the code –

    – <iframe style="width:120px;height:240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=as_ss_li_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=gearsofgeek0e-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=0984782850&asins=0984782850&linkId=c7d87c5d33b222710dd5e09d6b2b9bd7&show_border=true&link_opens_in_new_window=true"></iframe>

    I stuck the code in my test site and all seems fine?

    P.S. you can disregard the other stuff on the page.

    I’m away from home but I tried your site using my iPhone. The book ad behaved expected so I think one of the content filters on my home network must be interfering with viewing the ad on my workstation.

    I’ll retest when I get home this evening by putting my workstation on a public network to bypass filters.

    It works! Thank you for helping me test.
