Conflicts Between Text and Visual Editor

    I am experiencing conflicts between Text and Visual modes in the text editor. When I make a revision in one mode and switch to the next, the revision will disappear. Making a revision in one will not necessarily go through on the front end.

    Examples:

    – Lines breaks added (<.br> or <p> — period added here to display the code) in Text mode don’t display on the front end.

    – Lines breaks added in Visual mode display on the front end, but no code for these appear in Text mode, and making further revisions of any kind in Text mode causes them to disappear.

    – Paragraphs that I paste in and that have single line spacing between them display in Visual mode and on the front end correctly, and in Text mode no code displays for the breaks.

    But after deleting in Visual mode a single break between paragraphs that had two breaks between them, the additional breaks continue to display on the front end.

    Also, as with the paragraphs that have no additional breaks displaying between them on the front end, in Text mode these paragraphs have no coding to differentiate them from the paragraphs that display on the front without an extra line between them and those that don’t.

    What’s the work around with this?And how do I get the text editor to function correctly and consistenlty?

    Hi babluna,

    You have these issues because of how the editor TinyMCE in WordPress is handling HTML elements. So it is recommended to only work in one of those editors instead of switching back and forth – especially if you are using a lot of HTML formatting. This might also be interesting for you: Visual vs Text Editor.

    Thanks, though I am still trying to wrap my head around why TinyMCE interprets html code differently than how it’s supposed to be interpreted.
