TinyMCE stripping code
-
Who’s the [imagine worst expletive and derogatory comment here] that created TinyMCE and decided to make it standard for WordPress? Why would anyone want code automatically stripped out of their posts? I’ve read several accounts dating back 4 years in the forums and still, is anyone overseeing this stupidity?
I installed TinyMCE Valid Elements, and added “a” as an element. Or is it an attribute? Who the hell knows since the directions say “Go to Manage -> TinyMCE Valid Elements and add some elements and attributes.” without ANY EXAMPLE WHATSOEVER!!!! No screencap, no example, no video direction. Well done, developers!
So I’m using the up-to-date WordPress with the above plus Ultimate TinyMCE and I used the link button to add an external link, and the result was here. Can’t go anywhere with that, can I? Typed it directly into html mode. Saved. Stripped it out. I finally had to go into the profile and check “Disable the visual editor when writing” in order to complete my post. That’s absurd. Anyone have a solution?
Because of this I’ve tested the foliopress and ckeditor for wordpress, both with some positives but neither improve on the native “add images” and duplication is confusing. But I’m still trying to figure out a solution because my techno-phobic clients aren’t going to put up with the editor stripping valid html from posts. They’ll get confused over WordPress vs. editor image imports. Basically, I want TinyMCE’s nonsense to stop. Thoughts?
