<br style="clear: both;" /> only available for superadmins?

    I have seen several post with instructions to use <br style="clear: both;" /> when trying to force text underneath floated images. One page that talks about this is http://codex.wordpress.org/Wrapping_Text_Around_Images

    However, I now discover that this only seems to work when I have “superadmin” rights. With lower privileges, even as a normal admin for a blog, whenever I write <br style="clear: both;" /> in a post, it is automatically replaced with <br />.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Don’t bump.

    That page is suggesting you do some invalid HTML, but yes, there are greater restrictions on non-admins than admins in MultiSite. The problem is more how TinyMCE parses these things, though.

    At least because of bumping, I now got a reply 🙂

    Thanks for confirming my problem and pointing me in the right direction for a solution! I will start to investigate alternative editors.

    By the way, I don’t see any invalid HTML among the suggestions from that page. At least <br style="clear: both;" /> is perfectly valid.

    No, you got a reply cause someone reported your bump to a mod, which is bad behavior. Hint hint. Also I deleted the bump.

    The BR is valid HTML, but it’s invalid (or rather poor form) to use it to style formatting.
