As a result of wordpress asking me, I made the posting of html as strict as desired by wp, by using wp_kses_post.
If your span/iframe tags get deleted, check if it is done by wp_kses_post, or maybe just by tinymce. See for example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44261039/wordpress-removes-empty-span-tag#44261285 (which contains a solution for tinymce).
If done by wp_kses_post: use the available wordpress filters to allow extra tags.
Thanks for that. I tried adding the suggested code to functions.php but it had no effect on the problem, so I assume the issue concerns wp_kses_post.
The additional tags I would like to allow are:
<span style=”display: block;”> and <iframe src= width= height= frameborder= >
I looked at the codex documentation and various articles about kses but I lack the overall knowledge to implement the necessary code. So, could you indulge me and provide some hints:
1) I need the new filter to run in the admin back end, when I edit a template and when the template is used with an event. Where does that filter have to be added? In functions.php?
2) If I understand correctly, it is possible to add both tags and context information for when those tags should be allowed. I recognize that allowing <iframe> is a great big loophole, so there is interest in limiting the changes in the allowed list to <iframe> and <span> in EME templates or events. But I have no idea what to do to achieve this. Any hints?
3) Further, I presume that the technique should be to first detect which tags are already allowed, which puts the data in a 2 dimensional array, and then concatenating to that array whatever additional information you want about the additional tags. I presume I would have to use array_merge to achieve this, but an not sure. Could you provide an example of what the array of new values should look like, given my explanation above?

This seems like a good example:
https://www.snip2code.com/Snippet/1524788/WordPress-allow-iFrames-with-wp_kses_pos/
And since span on it’s own is already accepted, the style attribute can be allowed (in the example above) like this:
$tags[‘span’][‘class’]=>1;
The next version of EME will have an option that allows you to define extra tags/attributes to allow in EME settings alone.
Thanks very much for that. I see that the code needs to be added to functions.php.
But perhaps I’ll wait for the next version of EME, rather than going the functions.php route.
