Note: loaded a plugin “unfiltered MU”: this fixed it. It is a silly patch – but the short route to getting on with it….

Update: it seems indeed to be a super-user problem. Somehow WordPress thinks our installation is in multi-site mode. It never did so before. There were some other functions that started to refuse input with certain types of HTML content.

The hypothesis is that it is related to the permission “unfiltered_html”.
The problem is how to get out of this “trap”: maybe we should “patch” the
wordpress installation to force it to single site mode or to ro prevent “unfiltered_html” in some other way.

The thing that makes our site a bit different is that the root for the wordpress install is not in the main directory but in a subdirectory of the main directory – a feature typical for multi-siteconfiguration.

Any tip on how to “circumvent this issue’ is appreciated. Probably the problem is in the wordpress core.

Hello Takayuki,

No, it is a single install site, just a slightly different directory structure on the server.

Yes, logged in as admin.

Tried an older version of the plugin, version 5.5.6, but also that has no effect.

I am not sure when the problemen appeared. Very recently I think. I sometimes edit some text in the forms which did not given problemen until quite recently. Say max 2 months back all worked well I think. Not 100% sure though.

I remember I had a problem with another plugin related to a specific configuration used in our wordpress setup: we use a subdirectory to do the wordpress install – so not at the root of the webserver. It also caused massive problems when WP introduced the blockeditor since it “upset” the rest-api.

See the general setup for wordpress from the wordpress menu:

Deactivated the plugins – not all at once but groups at a time – no effect.
Same with theme – no effect.
??

Where can this filtering of the HTML tags come from – it is not just random error behaviour – there must be some reason why that all of a sudden kicks in?
Specifically it filters <script> and so disables the javascipt extensions with the forms.

Bummer – even with classic editor disabled the problem persists.

Theme is indicated: twentytwelve is the base – css and very ninor cusomizations through a child theme.

There is a whole list of active plugins, maybe there is interaction with Classic Editor?

Could it be that the wordpress editor is used – that also strips much html.

Thanks Tobias – I looked at the debug window of chrome which does not show the source code but includes JS mods of the style attributes. It is also clear toi me why it large suddenly became so large. Thanks!

Sorry all, fixed this myself, but still unclear why this problem emerged.

I have the same symptoms. I also have a different wordpress address url and site address. Come on dear wordpress people: these are standard options that are part of wordpress for a long time. Please fix this bug!

SGURYGF (@sgurygf): your tip fixed it also for me: Superthanks! Note: my category link problem remained even with yoast SEO not activated: this is really not funny.

Activated yoast, disabled “admin bar menu” and voila: category links work again.

Sigh.

Not sure what you mean by page types; see picture.
I am using it on a regular page (url provided already).

not sure how the website address would help, but the page that stopped
working is:

https://040energie.nl/040zon/zonnepanelen-opbrengst-check/

The page is working again using another plugin at the moment.
Note: it worked before using ad inserter but it just stopped; no HTML was
inserted anymore. Simply nothing, like the short-code was ignored.

Don’t know how to upload a picture here.
All settings are off except the shortcode setting.
