 * The 4.2.3 destroy de Javascript included into pages or post.
 * In some case the code is trucated.
 * In other case the code is change, for example:
 *     ```
       sURLVariables[1];
       ```
   
 * is now
 *     ```
       sURLVariables&#091 i&#093
       ```
   
 * (Sorry, after &#091 and &#093 is included a ;, but this html editor change the
   code to [ and ]).
 * The problem is very hard and we don’t have a solution or workaround.

 * This code is found inside the page/ post ‘Text’ editor? Have you considered separating
   out using a Custom JS plugin instead?

 * I do believe the problem is this new function on 4.2.3 version of WordPress:
 *     ```
       /**
       	 * Replace characters or phrases within HTML elements only.
       	 *
       	 * @since 4.2.3
       	 *
       	 * @param string $haystack The text which has to be formatted.
       	 * @param array $replace_pairs In the form array('from' => 'to', ...).
       	 * @return string The formatted text.
       	 */
       	function wp_replace_in_html_tags( $haystack, $replace_pairs ) {
       ```
   
 * Our code work fine in previous version of wordpress and the automatic upgrade
   broke our function.
 * Of course, we can change our pages and change the code for a custom plugin and
   a custom shortcode, but you have a error in your code.

 * I always thought the ‘Text’ editor should only contain code that the ‘Visual’
   editor can contain. So, that excludes JavaScript. It seems you were using a hacky
   way to get the JS in there in the first place:
 *     ```

 * It’s very usual include javascript into page and post of WordPress before 4.2.3.
   If you have your criteria it is a new.

 * The recommended techniques have always been to enqueue JavaScript using your

 * For posts, it says only call the function name in your Text editor. Don’t write
   JS code there: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript#JavaScript_in_Posts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Javascript#JavaScript_in_Posts)

 * We are move the code to a external javascript and work fine as:
 *     ```
       <script src="/lib/themes/DiviChild/partnerLogo.js"></script>
       ```

 * I see your problem, maybe the Codex needs to be updated. I asked to discuss with
   the Codex community if the “JavaScript in Posts” article is still relevant.
 * Not sure if this works for you; [https://codex.wordpress.org/Talk:Using_Javascript](https://codex.wordpress.org/Talk:Using_Javascript)

 * However, what we are doing is slightly dirty so it is probably better to enqueue
   or use a plugin.
