WYSIWYG is stripping html from posts

  • Hi,

    When I try to post a page in the latest WordPress, much of my formatting is getting stripped out.

    I keep trying to add a form, but every time I click save, the submit button gets removed some how.

    I’ve also noticed that my line breaks aren’t sticking. I’ll put 2 or 3 lines between a couple paragraphs, and after saving they’re still right on top of each other.

    I’ve tested this both in my normal blog as well as a fresh install.

    Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Let me know if more info is needed.

    Thanks!

  • I’m fighting with this as well. Here’s the workaround I came up with:

    <p><font color=”white”>space</font></p>

    Font color is whatever your background is and you can type in any gibberish.   doesn’t work though.

    This works fine in text but not in my form.
    doesn’t seem to work either. It’s very annoying.

    Okay. Upon further exploration I found a trick that works for me.

    Under Users, Your Profile untick the “Use the visual editor when writing box”

    My < p > and < br > and & nbsp ; codes stay put.

    I guess moshu was right on the money in his first response in this very thread.

    WYSIWYG is not for posting code. It is for posting text.

    If you want to use your own code – you don’t need the wysiwyg, so disable it, turn it off for good:
    admin > Users > Your profile.

    I hate that darned WYSIWYG.

    ??

    I disagree that everyone using the html editor are capable of doing html code. Often times you will see a video you want to share (i.e. on YouTube) and there’s an area where it’ll allow you copy and paste code to embed the video onto your website. At that point, it makes sense to switch to the html editor, paste it in the area you want, and switch back to the visual editor.
