* Hello –
* We’ve been using this plugin for quite some time without issue, however, users
are reporting that whenever they try to add a new post and select the HTML editor,
it clears all HTML data on the page when they click “save draft” I’ve confirmed
this also happens to me, but only for HTML editing (Text and Visual work as expected).
Any ideas what may be causing this behavior? Thanks!

* Hi. Please tell me exact steps to reproduce it.
I tried to add some text on
the HTML tab and clicked Save Draft. The added text is not saved but the previous
content is not removed. This is expected behaviour according to the plugin Description,
section Usage.4. The content should be synchronized with the HTML tab content.
So you should first switch to the Visual tab before saving.

* I have created a video and uploaded it to google drive. you should be able to
view it. See the following link – [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B82OAGd2io2RTWJBaXoyeE5WSXc/view](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B82OAGd2io2RTWJBaXoyeE5WSXc/view)
This should show you what I mean. Thanks again for the assistance!

* This is the case of the mentioned Description, section Usage.4. For now you should
save only from the Visual tab. Cause what you changed in the HTML tab is temporary
before you switch to the Visual. If you click Preview it doesn’t show the modified
content either.
If I have some time later I’ll try to fix this part (at the
moment I don’t remember why it was designed this way) or disable Save/Publish
buttons when the user is on the HTML tab to avoid this type of confusion. Thanks.

* Thanks for the response. If this has always been the case with this plugin, I’m
not sure why so many users are requesting help at this time. I will pass on the
info you provided and see if that resolves their issues. Thanks
