Visual editor is removing HTML comments

  • I am having trouble keeping HTML comments once I switch over to Visual mode from HTML mode in the editor. This happens when there is an empty line above the comment, like this:

    Phasellus dolor nulla, faucibus at aliquet eget, tincidunt at lacus.

<!-- Comment -->

    My thought is that the editor is trying to wrap a p tag around the comment and realizing that the tag would be empty and throwing the tag away, along with the HTML comment.

    I know that the easiest answer would be not placing a blank line above the HTML comment but I have authors and getting them to do that all the time is really hard.

    How can I get around this? Is there anyway to remove the p tags and keep the comments?

  • This is a known issue with the TinyMCE Visual Editor. The solution (for now) to to pick an editing tab and then stick to it. Do not switch editing tabs.

    Well that stinks. Ok, I guess that means I move onto plan B. Thank you for the help.
