Issue with editing

    I will add this issue again since my last topic was closed for no apparent reason and no support has been provided.

    Since the update SEVEN MONTHS AGO, the editing no longer shows visual but just text only and it causes issues with updating or adding markers.

    I am having to go back into phpMyAdmin to be able to make the required changes.

    This is still an issue and I shouldn’t have to go into the DB backend to make the changes so they show up properly.

    If I have a marker already and update it, all the special characters are being escaped and written to the database thus making the marker unreadable. As an example, if I enter <img src=""/> it is being escaped and entered into the database as & lt;img src=\"\"/& gt;. This is why I am having to go into the DB backend to change it.

    I don’t get this with new markers. I never had this option when the visual editing tab was present alongside the text editing tab.

    Please can this be looked at so we don’t have to manipulate the DB from the backend.

    Thanks

    This is due to the injected wp_kses() method for security reason.

    The new markers account for most of the tags. But unfortunately for old markers there is no 100% automatic transfer guarantee.

    Hi. Thank you for the response.

    If I recreate the markers do you think that will stop the issue that I am having when editing markers that are already there?

    If I edit new markers added after the change will they also be subject to the same issue or will this also stop those from having these issues?

    I just don’t want to have to go into the DB backend every time to make the changes.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    I should also add that the editor doesn’t show the Text option but only the visual option and this causes issues when editing the markers as it doesn’t show the edits properly when editing in the visual editor.

    I can’t find anywhere to change this.
