Page editor text tab won't save html tags.

    Folks,

    This just started happening today 03/09/2015. Whenever someone tries to edit a page in the text tab using raw html tags, when they press the update button the page saves but returns to the visual tab and all the html tags have been converted to literals, i.e. <div> becomes <div>

    This getting very frustrating and any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Daryl

    Just to clarify the last <div> should have been composed of the html entity for “less than” as in (if the editor doesn’t change it again) <div>

    Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Regards,

    Switching between editors does strip out code – it’s how tinyMCE works.

    If it’s automatically switching, you could turn off the visual editor under the user’s profile.

    WPyogi, I appreciate your help. I do understand that switching between between tabs changes the content, but starting yesterday the editor now treats the text tab content as if it were from the visual tab. Indeed saving from the text tab return to the visual tab.

    I have tried turning off the visual editor as you but still keep getting the html rendered as literals upon saving the page.

    Is it possible that the other problem I am seeing about “charset `ANSI_X3.4-1968′ not supported, assuming iso-8859-1” could have something to do with this issue?

    I tried re-installing wordpress (downloaded a new tar.gz) and copying my wp-config.php file, and the problem still persisted. I am wondering if I somehow got something into the database that is causing these problems…

    Thanks for your help.

    Does anyone know how to change what Google displays when searching for my blog?

    i.e. When I type “young, wild and broke”, the Google search result is ugly. I would like to change what the text display on Google.

    Im guessing it is something in my Editor, but not entirely sure.
    Thanks

    Also start by doing some homework on how google indexes and displays search results – https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

    @darylwilliams – what if you deactivate all your plugins and switch to the default theme?

    WPyogi, Thanks for your suggestion. I disabled all plugins but it still acts the same. I then switched to the 2015 theme, but still the same…

    I’ve resolved the problem of “Unknown: charset `ANSI_X3.4-1968′ not supported” by setting the default_charset in php.ini to iso-8859-1.
    Unfortunately the problem with the “literal” html tags being saved by the page editor remains.
