About this tool.
This plugin preserves the user-generated HTML markup in the TinyMCE editor. Unlike other plugins this one allows developers to work in the HTML tab AND end-users to work in the WYSIWYG Visual tab at the same time! No longer will your HTML markup be completely munged into an unrecognizable form when you switch between those tabs. And you don’t have to hang your users/editors out to dry when you hand off the project with a disabled Visual tab.
IMPORTANT: Please read the installation instructions carefully. If you have existing content it will not render properly after activating this plugin until you use the Fix It Tools.
(One user didn’t read or follow these steps and panicked thinking I ruined their website.)
It also supports HTML5 Block Anchor tags in addition to other HTML5 elements, something that is currently not supported in WordPress via any existing plugins.

- 02Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress Admin
- 03If you have existing content that needs fixing, use the “Fix Posts” feature under Admin > Settings > Writing: Fix Existing Content.
- 04You’re done!
Frequently asked questions.
When will code tag issues be resolve?
This is a tough one. Not only do I have no idea why they’re being trumped, but I also have a daughter that will be born pretty soon :D, and a project at work that is about to get hectic 🙁 I’ll try to fix it when I can but if you have the skills to help debug the help would be greatly appreciated.
Does this plugin actually disable wpautop?
Yes. And unlike virtually every other “disable wpautop” plugin this one will actually disable the client-side version of wpautop that runs when you switch between the Visual and HTML tabs. Even when using the P Tag mode or hybrid mode, wpautop is disabled and custom code is being used to inject paragraphs a little more intelligently.
What exactly do the “Fix Posts” or “Fix XXX” buttons do to my content?
Firstly, only use this feature if you are starting new with version 1.2. And definitely backup your database before running these tools, they have only been tested on two sites so far. And although in theory it is safe, you should still protect yourself.
