    When i add an email link as below – it gets stripped out (removed) if i switch from text to visual ?

    before –

    Get In Touch <a href="mailto:me@my-domain?Subject=Hi" target="_top"><i class="fa fa-envelope fa-lg"></i></a>

    after

    Get In Touch <i class="fa fa-envelope fa-lg"></i>

    I read a post that said this would be fixed ?

    how can i stop this ?

    This isn’t considered a bug because the way to preview changes has always been through the ‘Preview’ button, and not by switching from Text to Visual. That’s the reason why it hasn’t been fixed in core.

    There is a plugin out there to prevent this from happening, I just can’t remember the name.

    pretty annoying … because “clients” …

    Found some code that stops it , works for me , added to functions.

    function myformatTinyMCE($in) {
    $in['verify_html']=false;
    return $in;
}
add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'myformatTinyMCE' );

    Thanks
