# CKEditor Overwrites Code

 * Using CKEditor’s Source button, I entered in some necessary Font Awesome html.
   When I returned to Visual, Updated my page and refreshed in the front end, the
   code is gone.
 * How can I prevent CKEditor from overwriting my code? I switched to CKEditor for
   this reason that I thought would fix the issue I was getting from TinyMCE. Any
   solutions?

 * You can try to disable ACF (Advanced Content Filter)

 * To do so navigate to `CKEditor > Advanced Settings (wp-admin/admin.php?page=ckeditor_advanced_options)`
   and select `Disabled` option next to the _Advanced Content Filter_ option.

 * Unfortunately, that doesn’t really fix my problem.
 * I eventually found a plugin that would allow my code to be be preserved. Plus
   I found out that in order for Font Awesome to work, you have to put a space in
   between the code so the code doesn’t disappear.
 * Not necessarily the most friendliest of text editors. Or it could be just WP 
   altogether.
