 * Hi all,
 * In older versions of WP (3.5.2), when editing a post, there were 2 tabs at the
   top (right hand side).
    Standard was the Visual Editor, next to it the Code Editor.
 * Where did that go?
    How do I insert some php code into a simple post?
 * thx
    Chris

 * that was never possibly without using a plugin.
 * do you need the php executed? then try for instance [http://wordpress.org/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/allow-php-in-posts-and-pages/)
 * do you want to show the code? then consider one of [http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=syntax+highlighter](http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=syntax+highlighter)
