Text formating and html not saving

Can you paste the full html code that you are trying to save so I can try locally?

Sure. Nothing fancy, just a heading and a paragraph. I’ve tried using the formatting options in the text editor and writing the html myself.

I’m making these updates to account for the class changes between the plugins on my local test site using Local by flywheel.

I’ve gone ahead and installed the Twenty Nineteen theme and disabled all other plugins. Issue remains.

The HTML that is output looks like:

<div class="spu-content">
<p style="margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">

</p>
</div>

You deactivated all plugins and changed the theme and still happens? That makes no sense to me.
Any must use plugin ?

Yep. No MU plugins but I will go ahead and test it on another environment.

Hi @patrick-b, please let me know how it goes. There must be something else in there affecting it.

Definitely an issue with my local development server. Tested it on another setup and the issue went away. Sorry to drag you down the rabbit hole.

No Problem, I will close the ticket, but let me know if you ever find the cause of the issue.

I finely hunted down the issue in my setup and wanted to post just encase someone else has a similar setup issue. The html wasn’t saving because I had define( ‘DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML’, true ) in my wp-config.php

Hi @patrick-b,
thanks for letting me know. If the first time I hear about this constant.
