Title: Inserting own scriptingcode at a post Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Inserting own scriptingcode at a post * [maximus43](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximus43/) * (@maximus43) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-own-scriptingcode-at-a-post/) * Hi, I want to at some special code in my post, so I used the ‘edit html source’ option, where I pasted my code. It is code to show a gmapez google map, with some own modified lightbox-script (so I could not use a default plugin). Now this code contains some div’s and a ordened list for showing a route on the map. But unfortunally wordpress is setting everywhere paragraph `

` and break `< br>` tags. How can prevent this, because on this way, my cool map doesnt work… 🙁 Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-own-scriptingcode-at-a-post/#post-481250) * I’d suggest nixing the visual rich editor (Users > Your Profile, Personal Options) and see if you can insert the code using the basic editor. * Thread Starter [maximus43](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximus43/) * (@maximus43) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-own-scriptingcode-at-a-post/#post-481291) * Unfortunally it doesn’t work. I tried this, with adding the html directly in the database, but with showing the content, wordpress is again adding some `< p>` and `

If so, try using my little plugin to help this along. * [http://ottodestruct.com/wpstuff/scriptenabler.zip](http://ottodestruct.com/wpstuff/scriptenabler.zip) * It should prevent WordPress from messing with your javascripts. * Thread Starter [maximus43](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximus43/) * (@maximus43) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-own-scriptingcode-at-a-post/#post-481306) * Well, it is not really javascript. I use some functions, but I included them ( directly in the source. It is not a nice solution, but it works), but the data hava to be specified in html (I use the gmapez tool). For example: * [http://bluweb.com/us/chouser/gmapez/start.html](http://bluweb.com/us/chouser/gmapez/start.html) * To add a marker to my google map (with gmapez), I use:

* But WP is messing this by adding

and
tags. Also drawing a line with gmapez is the 1. and 2. tag. WP is also messing this up… * But Otto, your script looks interesting. Is it possible to extend or change the script that wordpress doesn’t mess up my html?? * for example everything between an artificial tag: *

some data that should not be messed up
[ EXTENT * I don’t know so much about the inner structure of wordpress (there are so many functions). Do you know how I should do that? * Thread Starter [maximus43](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maximus43/) * (@maximus43) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-own-scriptingcode-at-a-post/#post-481307) * hmzz. now is the link interpreted as a link: There should be the html of a link, like in gmapez… * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-own-scriptingcode-at-a-post/#post-481381) * oops – ignore this * Moderator [Samuel Wood (Otto)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otto42/) * (@otto42) * WordPress.org Admin * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-own-scriptingcode-at-a-post/#post-481382) * > But Otto, your script looks interesting. Is it possible to extend or change > the script that wordpress doesn’t mess up my html?? * Sure. Open the plugin in a text editor. There’s two functions, a Pre and a Post. The Pre takes out the relevant code before WordPress messes with it, and the Post puts it back afterwards. If you wanted to have a “nomess” sort of tag, you could change the regular expressions accordingly. * In the Pre, you’ll find this: `if (preg_match_all("{\} siU", $text, $temp)) {` * Change that to this: `if (preg_match_all("{\(.*)\<\/nomess\>}siU", $text, $temp)) {` * Now it looks for nomess tags. You just have to fix the post portion to put the stuff back correctly. So in there, find this: `$text = str_replace('', '', $text);` * And change it to this: `$text = str_replace('', $v, $text);` * That will put the text back into your post, but WITHOUT the nomess tags. * Should work, I think. Haven’t tried it. 🙂 * [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * (@vkaryl) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-own-scriptingcode-at-a-post/#post-481385) * And if you want a super simple way to insert google maps, try Windows Live Writer: blog page at [http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/](http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/) and download link at [http://g.msn.com/8SEENUS030000TBR/WriterMSI](http://g.msn.com/8SEENUS030000TBR/WriterMSI) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Inserting own scriptingcode at a post’ is closed to new replies. * In: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) * 8 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [vkaryl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vkaryl/) * Last activity: [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-own-scriptingcode-at-a-post/#post-481385) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
