One solution is to hook into wp_insert_post_data and do some regex magic to replace all instances of & with &: // when saving posts, replace & with & function cc_wpse_264548_unamp( $data ) { $data[‘post_content’] = preg_replace( “/&/”, // find ‘&’ “&”, // replace with ‘&’ $data[‘post_content’] // target the ‘post_content’ ); return $data; } add_filter( … Read more
Apparently, the default WordPress style files overwrite a custom TinyMCE skin. So what you need to do is deregister WordPress’s TinyMCE skin. Since I needed the custom skin to only apply on the front-end on my website, I wrapped it inside an !is_admin() conditional. function remove_editor_buttons_style() { // If not on wp-admin if ( !is_admin() … Read more
(Revised answer) You can use tinymce.DOM.encode() to convert all HTML tags to their entities, e.g. < for < and > for >: var html = tinymce.DOM.encode(e.data.code); Then to preserve trailing white-spaces: html = html.replace(/(^ +| +$)/gm, function(match, p1){ return p1.replace(/ /g, ‘ ’); }); And this to convert all line breaks to <br>: html = html.replace(/(?:\r\n|\r|\n)/g, … Read more
automatically turns pasted image URLs into embedded images Yes, but only for URLs ending with .gif, .jpg, .jpeg and .png. And that conversion is one of the “smart paste” features in TinyMCE — another one is when you select a text and paste an absolute URL (that begins with http or https), the text is … Read more
I was finally able to get this fixed after some more debugging. I had previously disabled TinyMCE emojis which is what was causing the issue. After removing this code from functions.php the editor started working as it normally does. function disable_emojis() { add_filter( ‘tiny_mce_plugins’, ‘disable_emojis_tinymce’ ); } add_action( ‘init’, ‘disable_emojis’ );
Did you try this solution: Make WordPress WYSIWYG not strip out iframe’s?
TinyMCE – at least, as-configured for WordPress – isn’t explicitly designed for copying/pasting of text richly formatted in other word processors. That said: how are you pasting? Are you simply copy/pasting (i.e. via CTRL-C, CTRL-V; or else via right-clicking and using contextual menu commands), or are you using the “Paste From Word” button on the … Read more
Facilitating users to write content in an external editor, and then copy/paste it into the WordPress editor, is a fundamentally bad approach, and is fraught with issues. The WordPress editor is intended to be used to write content. You should train your users to use the post editor to write content, as opposed to using … Read more
Try running wpautop on output of the text like so: <?php echo do_shortcode( wpautop( get_option( ‘custom_editor_test’ ) ); ?>
I think you’re referring to all the paragraph tags, those are coming from wpautop. You can either disable it or write around it…many chose to just disable it, especially those who are particular about content display.
