• When I load and edit a post in wp-admin, WP changes the HTML formatting automatically and I cannot find how to disable that. It adds TONS of unnecessary HTML tags – <FONT…> and others. I use my own HTML formatting and don’t want WP to mess with it. Is there a way to disable WP’s ability or desire to change/add formatting HTML to my posts? Thanks.

  • Stop copy/pasting from MS Word and/or other bad word processors into the wysiwyg editor.

    I am having a similar problem but I am NOT copy and pasting. I am using a blog editor (Qumana) and WordPress is changing the HTML when I upload. This is really frustrating. How do I get it to leave my HTML alone?

    I am having the same issues and since I hand code all of my HTML copying/pasting from bad word processors really does not help me much.

    Handcode into the wysiwyg? That’s not a good idea. I also hand code my html in the simple editor (NOT switching between Code and Visual but completely turning wysiwyg off!) – and I never have any problems.

    I hand code into the simple editor (not the WYSIWYG editor) and WordPress is rewriting all my HTML. I need for it to stop. How do I make it stop?

    Is the wysiwyg completely turned off (admin > Users > Your profile)? If you just switch between Visual and Code (as I said above) the wysiwyg is still ON when saving the post, so it will screw up your html…

    If I log in as “admin” and click on Users, then click on “Your Profile”, I see a box on the left that says “Use the visual editor when writing”. When I turn that off, I continue to have problems with WordPress re-writing my HTML.

    I don’t and I never had.
    No, it might also depend on what are you trying to insert into the content…

    My email address is [email protected]. Write to me if you like and I’ll send you a username and password. You can login and see the problem.

    Better read my reply in the other thread you posted ??
    It’s your theme, not WP!
