When I write HTML, save it and then switch to visual editor, all the HTML is gone. So it just does not do what it promises to do 🙁 This topic was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by digihulpdienst . Reason: Good reply from the author This plugin does not strip the html from your post. The native WordPress visual editor strips your html with a “feature” called wpautop. If you disable this plugin and try again you will get the same result. It is possible to disable this “feature” and keep your html. I have written about this in the plugin FAQ: Why are p and br tags being removed? Please post to the Support Thread next time instead of giving a 1 star review for something that is solvable. Thanks! This reply was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by James Bradford . Reason: clarity Thanks for the quick reply. I was looking for a plugin to cancel the wpautop “feature”. And reading the description of your plugin, I expected to have found the right plugin. But it did not work as expected. Luckily I did find an other plugin that does the job I was looking for. I tried to delete my 1 star review, since you deserve better, but I can’t find how to delete it. So For now I changed it to a neutral “good”.
