# Executable code and Visual editing?

 * I’m looking to include some executable PHP in a page. Using the “HTML” editor(
   along with the Exec-PHP plugin) I’ve been able to add the code and have it function
   properly.
 * _However_, when I return to the “Visual” editing interface, the code gets destroyed.
   While I’m comfortable editing post content in HTML, we have authors who will 
   need to use the “Visual” editor.
 * I’ve been searching for days to no avail. Is there any way for executable code
   and “Visual” editing to work together?

 * Your best bet is to upgrade your Visual Editor with [TinyMCE Advanced](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/)

 * I’m running the TinyMCE Advanced plugin already and am still having the issue.
   Thus far, everything I’ve tried has failed; I cannot get PHP code in the post
   to work once “visual” WYSIWYG editing has been made.

 * This plugin works with the “visual” WYSIWYG editor in WordPress:
