• So WordPress has never been good to me when it comes to textareas. Is there anyway I can have a normal textarea without it getting funky on me? I want to have a code in a textarea but it converts all my quotation marks into technological ones that are not html/css appropriate therefor my code WONT work.

    PLEASE, any help!

  • So what kind of code do you want to get working in which textareas?

    Any code with a quotation mark, I am originally working with a simple linking image for “advertising/support”.. It’s nothing fancy yet it has to be transformed by WP :-/

    https://dirt2.com/support

    That’s the URL to the page, and yes the theme looks like trash right now.

    I am simply doing a sort of LINK ME, type code.

    This is a “feature” to ensure that things don’t break as well as security.

    There are a few plugins out there that specifically deal with Advertising where you paste the code into a file and an identifier calls that file when the page is rendered.

    If you want a one-time solution, do the nasty and put the code directly into the Table entry for that specific post. I’ve done it once or twice for very specific reasons, but other than that, I use a plugin for including my advertising.

    But this isn’t a one time occasion where I am putting a code in a textarea. The site I am doing is supposed to have alot of basic html/css codes and I don’t understand what you mean by putting the code directly into the table…

    In the code instead of “https://dirt2.com/”
    it shows up in the textarea of the final page as:
    ”https://dirt2.com/”

    Would an advertising plugin help me for that sort of problem?

    The same things happen with the quotation after a number such as style=”color:#000″ , if that were in the textarea it would show up as style=”color:#000” therefor making the code unusable.

    Are you putting code in the wysiwyg thing?
    Disable it ??

    The visual text editor? I don’t use it.
