# Problem creating Table in Page/Post

 * When trying to post a table with a caption tag, the caption tag is automatically
   removed by WordPress. I’m wondering why this is happening, considering caption
   is a valid tag.
 * Example:
    `<table> <caption>This is a caption</caption> <tr> <th>Header 1</th
   > <th>Header 2</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> </table>
 * After posted, it removed the caption tag and becomes:
    `<table> <tr> <th>Header
   1</th> <th>Header 2</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Cell 1</td> <td>Cell 2</td> </tr> </table
   >
 * I’ve tried to search for a solution, but couldn’t find anything. To see the actual
   page in question, go to:
    [http://www.goldmedalcollectibles.com/olympic-games-of-the-modern-era/](http://www.goldmedalcollectibles.com/olympic-games-of-the-modern-era/)
 * There should be a caption above the headers that says “Summer Olympic Games”

 * Are you putting your code in the wysiwyg editor?
    Never do that with any kind
   of code…

 * No, I’m using the HTML button, and typing it in directly

 * Through the tags feature on these forums, I stumbled onto the solution. Sorry
   for reproducing the same question here.
 * I disabled the WYSYWIG completely and reposted the table and it worked. Thanks.
