Serious HTML Formatting Problem

  • Hi There

    I’m trying to put a good amount of html coding into my blog post, and for some reason wordpress is messing with the code and it’s not working correctly. I’ve been searching the forms and haven’t found the solution. I’ve already switched off the wysiwyg editor, so it’s just straight code I’m working with.

    The blog post is https://www.successsquared.com/blog

    The correct look is https://www.successsquared.com/signupbox.html

    The same code is being used on both sites, but one looks right and one doesn’t

    Does anyone have a fix?

    Thanks

    Mitch

    Wow. And you want to put that in a post? Or just on your site?

    WordPress wants text and such in posts. Maybe some images and other minor html. Putting forms and hardcore HTML into post contents is usually not going to work. It’s not intended to hold HTML, it’s intended to hold *posts*.

    If I was doing a complex input form, I’d put it into a Page Template and then use a Page to display it.

    OK. I’m having a similar problem and the page template doesn’t seem to work either. Funny thing is it works on my laptop but doesn’t on my hosting facility.

    I have a <form action=?page_id=4…> in the page template with <input> tags in the page. It works on my laptop (wordpress 2.5, apache 2.2.4 and php 5.2.5.) but doesn’t work on my hosting site. When it posts back (ie on the submit), I get a “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria” page back from the web server. What makes wordpress read a form postback different from a regular url entry.

    In any event what is the solution if the <form> tag is in the page template (i have a different page template for this page and it is so indicated on the page (Page Template drop down) for the page edit screen.

    What about some of the plugins. I have reviewed comments (in the forum) regards some of the “form” plugins and it seems they are a bit “buggy” as well.

    Thanks for any assistance.
