Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress Editor Driving Me InsaneHi. Fast reply.
Yes, I read the whole thread, and I did uncheck everything in Writing Options before posting here. It doesn’t eliminate the WYSIWYG editor, however. My coding is still changed before it gets submitted.
I also just read all of the stuff in the older thread that you mentioned above.
None of this helps with my major problem: I don’t want WordPress messing with my coding at all! I just want to be able to design a post the way I want it to appear, using a simple text editor like Notepad.
Styling “sample code” in the post is not the only problem I’ve experienced. Every HTML tag I put in gets changed by the editor to something I didn’t want! Then I have to figure out a work-around to get the post to look like I wanted it to look.
I have spent far less time designing a whole XHTML page for one of my websites than it took me to write one post for my blog! Either I’m going to give up this blogging idea, or I’ll have to spend a lot of time writing my own plugin in order to do what I want to do. I just hope that there’s a way to avoid both alternatives.

In reply to: WordPress Editor Driving Me InsaneHello –
I just found this thread, and it starts out with the same problem I’ve been having for a couple of days now.
I HATE “WYSIWYG” editors. I just spent over an hour trying to put up a post that contains sections of coding, and trying to enclose that section with a ‘pre’ tag. Finally, I went into the database itself, and was able to do it in spite of the built-in editor, but it’s STILL not the way I want it exactly.
I want to be able to design a post using a simple text editor like Notepad, and be able to post it WITHOUT having the coding changed. I’ve already checked on available plugins, and none of them allow an experienced HTML programmer to do what they want to do.
Please, somebody, point me to a plugin that allows COMPLETE coding to be entered, without modification, into a post.
