• Before upgrading to 3.5, I was able to paste HTML (complex tables from a Dreamweaver site I’m converting to WP). Now it’s impossible. All markup code is stripped. I’ve installed and activated the following plugins which either make ALL the editing buttons vanish completely, or add no functionality at all (and yes, I only activate one at a time)
    TinyMCE Advanced
    Ultimate TinyMCE
    Preserved HTML Editor Markup

    Disabling HTML editing in software for composing websites has to be the dumbest upgrade so far in the 21st century.

    Are you scheduling these posts for publication or publishing them immediately?

    Have you tried:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.

    resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress. Make sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new ones.

    Thanks for the quick reply, esmi. I will try your suggestions.

    I wish WP developers would follow the old maxim, “If ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The HTML editor should never have been purged.

    It wasn’t.

    It wasn’t? I understand the HTML tab was renamed Text in 3.5 In neither Text nor Visual tab can I paste HTML without it being stripped.

    Just checked my wp-content folder — there is no plugins folder at all.

    That was just a tab name change. The editor itself wasn’t changed or reset. It still accepts markup. But you didn’t answer my other question – are you scheduling these posts for publication or publishing them immediately?

    Sorry I didn’t answer that. I’m actually trying to paste HTML in Pages, not posts, and I am publishing them immediately.

    FYI – It doesn’t matter whether you’re using Pages or Posts. The Text Editor/tab is exactly the same for both and no change has been made to it in WordPress 3.5 other than its tab name. Have you tried:
