The homepage turned out fine/working as advertised. * My subpages, when I go to insert HTML code into the visual or text editor in the page edit page, the actual code displays on the website. How can I make it so the code doesn’t display and acts as its supposed to? Driving me insane! * example page: [http://www.attorneymonroemichigan.com/contact-us/](http://www.attorneymonroemichigan.com/contact-us/) * Thanks!

I think there may be an issue with this theme. I ran a fresh bare bones install on another website I have and still getting issues just trying to put simple tags in such as `

and `. * I’ve looked through the CSS file, I cant find anything wrong with it. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-displaying-html-code/#post-4910790) * The 2014 theme has been _extensively _tested. So this is specific to your site. Can you try adding the same text to a new Page and see if that works? * Thread Starter [cfleming53](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cfleming53/) * (@cfleming53) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-displaying-html-code/#post-4910793) * Added the twinkle. That works. I put some code underneath and it still is displaying it as html and not hidden. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-displaying-html-code/#post-4910795) * Can you clarify what you meant by “I put some code underneath”. What editor tab are you using?
