tags in my code. I’m using the HTML tab to paste the code. * Here’s what’s happening: * ```
```
* See the extra
’s? * It’s not a plugin, I don’t have any plugin installed at all. * I have already taken out all the spaces between the HTML tags (something I shouldn’t have to do at all) and out of 6/7 HTML errors I had only 1 error remains (I can fix one of the
’s you see above, but I left both to show the kind error I’m
getting).
* I’ve searched the forums before posting but there is only one similar forum but
no one has been able to solve that issue either.
* —
* This is very disapointing, although I’m not new to HTML this is my first time
using WordPress to build a website because I heard very good comments about it,
but now I’m trying such a simple thing which is copy HTML code from Dreamweaver
to the HTML tab in WordPress and WordPress welcomes me with this absurd problem.
* If there’s no way to solve this, I will have to dump WordPress for another CMS.
I honestly do NOT want to do it, but seems I’m being forced to do so.
* Thanks for any help you can provide on this issue.

* Try having no spaces or no new lines (as you do above) between tags and no html
comments.

* Another option is to use a plugin:

* rzea,
* You might try the TinyMCE Advanced plugin which has an option to prevent this
sort of behavior. [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/)

* Perfect iridiax, the **Disable WPAUTOP** solved the problem.
* Not sure if I want to install TinyMCE, the author says it installs 15 plugins
and I’m not sure I really need all that.
* Anyway, this issue is solved.
* Thanks guys.

* The wpautop filter changes BR and P tags.
* To force a line break, use this:
* > `
`
* Valid? I don’t know, but wpautop ignores it. That’s pretty easy relief!

* This hack isn’t really workable as it clears out all the legit p and br tas.
* This seems like an insanely easy fix for the WordPress team. Add a hidden field
to the editor page that’s value changes when you click the HTML tab.
* Then it would be easy to create filters that only work in a specific mode and
this problem could be averted.
