    I’ve been using PHP with WordPress for 2.5 years. I know I have to disable the visual editor and install a plug-in. The simple “Exec-PHP” has been doing the job.

    Sometime between this morning’s coding session and a couple hours ago I must have changed something because all of a sudden my WYSIWYG warning won’t go away no matter what I do. And of course updating my pages results in broken <?php and ?> tags rendering my pages useless. I can’t imagine what I changed. I’ve Googled “turning off WYSIWYG editor” and the only results seem to point to disabling the visual editor, which I’m doing. I even tried other PHP plugins and changing my tags to short code but it doesn’t seem to behave the same.

    Anybody have any ideas?! I’m all out and weeks of work are now unusable. :/

    Also just realized…it’s not breaking it in the “normal” way. It’s putting a space changing <?php to < ?php. I just tried another plugin that’s working on my other site and it’s making zero difference.

    Found it! If anyone else ever runs across a similar issue…

    On the Writing Settings page…don’t check the WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically box if you plan to use PHP.

    Although the settings checkbox is not ticked, Exec-php is refusing to work for me (it’s been fine for the last year).

    I tried deactivating all other plugins for conflicts without success, so I’m putting it down to WP 3.8.1 update, and have had to use an alternate plugin as a work round.

    Anyone else having problems?

    @willsca, could you start up a new thread about that?
