# new html editor breaking plugins

 * There are certain plugins that require special code to be put in, such as php-
   exec and such. however, the new html editor textarea for pages automatically 
   removes such code.
 * Example, for the kml_flash_embed_wp_03 plugin, I have to add `<kml_flashembed
   movie="filename.swf" height="250" width="400"></kml_flashembed>` to my post –
   but the HTML editor removes it before I hit “save”.
 * How can we put special code in without the html editor removing it, or, is there
   a way to disable it on certain pages that need this?

 * Does this happen if you switch the new editor off ?
    (The switch for that is 
   at the bottom of your user page)

 * To be honest, I haven’t tried because I didn’t notice that feature.
 * I wouldn’t want to have it always turned off – seems it would be better to be
   per-post. But if that is what it takes, then I’ll do that for now. Thanks!

 * hmmm… it doesn’t seem to work that way, either. :/
