html editor not working

Hi,

Check with these options:

– Upgrade your wordpress to the latest version. If it already upgraded then reinstall the wp-includes and wp-admin folders.
– Disable all the plugins
– Remove all unwanted code from htaccess

Thanks,

Shane G.

that is exactly how it works. You can’t switch between the two.

If you use the html editor, you stay in the editor. If you switch to visual ever you lose your formatting.

hi,

same exact thing here, its got to be systemic?

last night, everything was fine as usual
(lots of plugins, but they all seem to get along…)
installed WP_SuperCache, so far so good
(even though it seems like a good idea to turn it off while editing)
I’ve had maxblogpress installed for some time, but started creating links with it for first time. Instantly(?) the following happened –

• visual view disappeared (but when high-lited showed html (as if it had turned white) html window was fine
• whole visual editor was disappearing at times
• live blog appeared fine -TG!
• posts didn’t appear affected

Coincidentally, the hostgator srever went offline a few minutes later!
(Very rare.)

Too many coincidences…?

Cheers,
AMJ

Rev. Voodoo,
That helped me a lot. Once you work in HTML code, you have to stay there. No one else has every said that on other posts on this topic. It shouldn’t be that way though. WordPress should NEVER strip out HTML code that you entered. Thanks for the explanation, though.

It’s due to an incompatibility between TinyMCE (what WP uses for the Visual editor) and the basic plaintext HTML editor. TinyMCE’s visual WYSIWYG system basically just filters out things that it doesn’t understand or is not programmed to display.

It’s just the same as when you copy a fully formatted Microsoft Word document and paste it into Notepad. You’ll lose quite a bit of formatting.

I’m sure the problem will be fixed when the WP developers get around to writing their own visual editor.
