Template code editor is reverting html brackets to entity codes

The next thing left to check is that this is not a theme issue. Try switching to the default theme and then see if it still happens.

Also, do you get the same behavior with Pods Frontier activated?

Sidenote (first!): I didn’t know the Frontier and Frontier Auto Template were two different plugins. That seems like it could be named differently, or the connection made more apparent in their respective docs. ^_^

I was hoping that was it, but neither of those worked. TwentyFourteen with/without Pods Frontier, still stripping my HTML out. Curly brackets are fine, though (I noticed in a different template).

There haven’t been any other reports of this, ne? Bummer, I always seem to get weird outlier issues. T_T

Any other thoughts, Josh? If it is worth your time, I can create admin/SFTP accounts for ya. Right now I am going to reproduce the site elsewhere and see if that changes anything. If you’d like to play along at home, the deployment repo is at https://allthecod.es/westview-press/wp-deploy.

I spun up a Digital Ocean server and cloned the deployment repo, and the code editor is working. Next I will try spinning up another instance on WPEngine. Blah.

I’m honestly stumped as to why this is happening to you. If you can’t reproduce it in any other environments and I can’t reproduce it here, which I can’t it is impossible to know what’s up. Let’s hope it goes away and stays away on its own.

RE: Frontier/ Frontier Auto Template- Yah, good point, but too late now. Auto Template will probably eventually become part of Frontier at some point, but since it was a simple thing we could get done before finishing Frontier it made sense to release it on its own. It was originally called Omega Pods, which was just dumb…

I am gonna resolve this thread, though I never figured out what the issue was. I deployed from that repo to a non-WPE server, and it worked fine. And I provisioned a new WPE instance, and Pods worked fine there, but if I use WPE’s copy install feature, the new instance also has the issue. So something got messed up that is copied over, but I don’t have time to resolve it (we are going to deploy elsewhere).

Thanks for your assistance, Josh. ^_^

Yah, that’s very weird, but if you decide to track down the cause, I think you’d be better off talking with WPEngine support.

For what it’s worth, I have the same problem as Maiki had.

I’m using 1&1 in Spain for hosting. Right now I don’t have any spare time to investigate it further – it happens on a test site I have, and I can copy the template back from production when it gets corrupted. Every time I save it, it is displayed corrupted, but seems to continue working just fine (!). But just so you are aware that there does seem to still be a latent problem lurking here, Josh.

Here’s a template which got corrupted after saving on the test site:
<tr><td id=&quot;td_{@category.course_code}&quot;><a href=&quot;/{@category.description.post_name}&quot;>{@category.course_code}</a></td><td>{@start_date, format_date_jSFY}</td><td><a href=&quot;/author/{@tutor.display_name, format_name_slug}&quot;>{@tutor.display_name}</a></td><td>{@towncity}</td><td>{@cost}</td></tr>

Wow – the code has been pasted here in re-constructed form. Didn’t expect that…

@sqeze – This should be fixed in Pods 2.5.2

Many thanks, Josh!
