I wanted a complete reset so can import new blog w different title, themes, posts, database – without having to reinstal everything (problem is using cPanel Softaculous instal system, — they ask for themes etc from start no good import system, poss better direct from wordpress org Possibly only wordpress.com free autohost has the described delete options?!) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Delete blog and install new one at same website address](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-blog-and-install-new-one-at-same-website-address/) * Thread Starter [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/delete-blog-and-install-new-one-at-same-website-address/#post-7595751) * Thanks a lot jonradio!

Would be good if you could keep it a while, seemingly cant have both versions even if one deactivated (as per other comment) * re better to have almost nothing than something awful yes well at least the site is working ok 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Preserved HTML Editor Markup] [Plugin: Preserved HTML Editor Markup] HTML comments spanning multiple tags are not preserved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/) * [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/page/2/#post-2801633) * RE If you need to revert to the old one I’m sure [@dreamdancerdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreamdancerdesign/) wouldn’t mind you re-downloading for the time being. “Yes, I can leave the link up to the older versions until the support site is ready.” * (I dont see how the old one is available, I clicked on dreamdancerdesign and not see anything…not that would need hopefully but still = none would be needed if one could deactivate old and download a new, keeping both OK its a wordpress. org thing I know) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Preserved HTML Editor Markup] [Plugin: Preserved HTML Editor Markup] HTML comments spanning multiple tags are not preserved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/) * [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/page/2/#post-2801632) * Well.. it seems I cant keep the old version but am forced to update it I wanted just to daactivate previous so it was spare How I hate WordPress! It seems to require a mass of “plugins” to do anything As I like doing my own page coding, I’d have to say I find Blogspot much better It just seems that WordPress fights you at every turn, wheras Blogspot (perhaps ironically from being technically worse done) is much more forgiving – I even stuck an image in a title etc Also with Blogspot you can see on the design page exactly how everything is laid out, visually. Maybe not the right place top comment but as said, why the heck cant I keep an old deactivated plugin, if thats what I want Well, it’s gone now anyway. I see dreamdancerdesign still has the old ones, however that works… (end of rant!) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Preserved HTML Editor Markup] [Plugin: Preserved HTML Editor Markup] HTML comments spanning multiple tags are not preserved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/) * [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/page/2/#post-2801629) * Thank you Marcus! I will try and upgrade so. Not sure how to do it (new at this) but assume I can just “deactivate” (rather than have to delete) the last one and can upload the new one – also in case want to go back to the old one for some reason! Anyway that’s what I will try… * I will let you know if I have any further problems, as you suggested (re [@dreamdancerdesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dreamdancerdesign/) apparent similarity) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Preserved HTML Editor Markup] [Plugin: Preserved HTML Editor Markup] HTML comments spanning multiple tags are not preserved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/) * [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/#post-2801617) * btw am using public computers this summer for a bit… so its not a big deal if it’s the firefox, which I cant really upgrade, can still use other browsers for now maybe you can try in firefox 7, if thats possible, just to confirm thats the issue * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Preserved HTML Editor Markup] [Plugin: Preserved HTML Editor Markup] HTML comments spanning multiple tags are not preserved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/) * [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/#post-2801616) * Many Thanks Marcus * Windows 7 Ultimate Firefox version 7.0 (sounds old but seemingly from sep 2011.. er, maybe thats old!) * If its not the old Firefox maybe some interaction like you say… * btw click to donate goes to marcuspope.com that seems in redevelopment * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Preserved HTML Editor Markup] [Plugin: Preserved HTML Editor Markup] HTML comments spanning multiple tags are not preserved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/) * [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/#post-2801614) * Trying some more… * I Explorer = worked like you say Firefox = I put the code tags around the comment tags so now work ok (like cwlee_klagroup suggestion) * So hopefully “code” workaround is good for any other non complying browser * Should say thanks too = its great that multiline spacing and & n b s p ;  and
tags and much else now works, presumably thanks to you (downloaded a bunch of plugins in frustration… would like to be able to code as if in blank notepad type editor!) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Preserved HTML Editor Markup] [Plugin: Preserved HTML Editor Markup] HTML comments spanning multiple tags are not preserved](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/) * [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [13 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-preserved-html-editor-markup-html-comments-spanning-multiple-tags-are-not-preserved/#post-2801613) * RE: Just type them in the HTML editor as you would in any other editor, hack free and my plugin will ensure they are not trumped by wptexturize or wpautop. * I have assumed I dont need to click on extra buttons or write some extra wrapping code like say [marcus tag] write anything here [/marcus tag] * So: I was really happy that multiline HTML commenting was supposed to work Except it doesnt I only use html editor I never use visual thing Obviously I have activated the plug in etc I just downloaded it so assume its the latest version you speak of… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Multiple Line HTML Commenting Does Not Work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-line-html-commenting-does-not-work/) * Thread Starter [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-line-html-commenting-does-not-work/#post-2953435) * To clarify, I am in HTML editor OK (or presumably the single line comment would not work!) * The only thing I could find that might seem a useful quick workaround was
Unfortunately, this too is very quirky in what is and is not shown… it does not seem to obey the closing tag. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Multiple Line HTML Commenting Does Not Work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-line-html-commenting-does-not-work/) * Thread Starter [peterdub](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterdub/) * (@peterdub) * [13 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-line-html-commenting-does-not-work/#post-2953407) * When I say does not work, I mean that wordpress just displays everything within the comment tags, and also the comment tags themselves, for multiple lines. * Please don’t just suggest “hey don’t use long commenting” or such 😉 I would appreciate knowing if and how it is possible.
