 * my problem is this: i’m using the “lifestyle” theme from studiopress and when
   i try to insert a div tag to stop the blue header background from appearing behind
   images in the post, wp removes the div code. here’s an example:
 * [http://bestbabyshops.com/wordpress/?p=1406](http://bestbabyshops.com/wordpress/?p=1406)
 * studiopress told me to modify the img code by adding this div tag (and it worked,
   but then wp takes it away):
 * <p><img class=”alignleft size-full wp-image-1446″ src=”[http://bestbabyshops.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/whitespace600x10.jpg&#8221](http://bestbabyshops.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/whitespace600x10.jpg&#8221);
   width=”600″ height=”10″ /></p><div style=”clear: both;”></div>
 * i’ve been reading sold pretty old posts about how wp automatically removes certain
   code if you use the wsy-thing and then try to put a line or two of your own code
   in the html editor.
 * it seems that the “text control” plugin could address the issue, but it hasn’t
   been updated since 2005, and i read that it doesn’t work with the newer versions
   of wp.
 * so i’m wondering if there is a solution to this problem or should i just create
   a new page in the html editor and try coding it myself?
 * any ideas would be appreciated 🙂

 * I assume you’re running in the administrative roles? By default, WordPress filters
   the HTML of certain roles. I’d download the [Role Manager](http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/)
   plugin and make sure that the role you’re running in is allowed unfiltered HTML.
