Problem with Editing HTML in WP Post

    I found an error in the html code of one of my posts. I left out an “alt” tag. Anyway, I logged into WP Admin and listed the posts. I clicked “Edit” for this one. I clicked the HTML button and the little screen with code popped up. I inserted the tag and hit “Update”. I opened the HTML screen again to make sure it was right, and the “alt” tag I added was gone. “Update” normally makes changes.

    Why would this happen?

    I worked around the problem with advice (below) from a previous post. I still don’t know why I could not make this change in the HTML popup box.

    Here is the previous advice I found, that worked for me:

    I’m not sure about your problem as I haven’t had it occur, but you can turn the rich text editing off by going to the “users” tab –> and at the very bottom of the page uncheck the “Use the visual rich editor when writing”. This will give you full html control, along with the standard editing buttons.
