Stop WYSIWYG from adding HTML

    Im experiencing a bug in my Template in Bricks builder when i use the WYSI pods field. Those 3 icons are static on the page. Besides not doing anything, they keep blocking no matter the viewport.

    I found out that Pods adds a lot of HTML to their text field. I can see it inside the Text instead of Visual. Deleting it makes them go away, which i want.

    How can i delete those for the meta field once and for all? I dont see it as an option in the Pod.

    I would rather not have to manually delete this in every field in every Pod forever. Instead, i hope to disable it somewhere, and then all new Pods will respect that setting.

    Unsure if images in my post are actually loaded

    Sorry, but this Gutenberg editor is so bad that images cannot be uploaded. They loop forever when copy/paste, and the image block only takes links…..

    EDIT: Here is a link of how the editor behaves. This is an extreme example, where i copy pasted a lot. Which apparently cope paste the extra HTML also: https://gifyu.com/image/b2kZ5
    Here is a link to the editor and the HTML i want gone: https://gifyu.com/image/b2kfS

    The linked images appear broken / aren’t loading, but you will likely be able to control the HTML output of WYSIWYG editor by checking these settings in the Edit Field pop-up’s options tabs:

    • Enable wpautop: Turning this off disabled WordPress’s built-in function for formatting HTML.
    • Allowed HTML Tags: This options restricts HTML output to a comma-separated list of tags, e.g., p,a,img
    • Enable wptexturize: Turning this off disables another WordPress function which can add HTML.

    See https://docs.pods.io/fields/wysiwyg/

    Just tested and it seems to make no difference.

    Did you see the 2 gifs i added in a later comment?

    Try disabling other plugins or switching to a default theme. The HTML appears to be related to highlighting functionality, while the icons do not appear to be a part of Pods.

    Perhaps an unexpected plugin is mistaking Pods fields for other content.

    Just tested with no plugins and default theme. Still happens. As soon as i write one letter in the box, the “Text” tab fills with HTML

    Perhaps you are running a Chrome extension such as markIt web annotator?

    That HTML shows up in the plugin source code here.

    A Chrome extension would behave like a site plugin, but on all sites loaded by the browser.

    It could cause HTML to be altered in unexpected ways.

    Ah it seems you are correct! I dont know if its the exact same one, but i have this:

    https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/highlighter/fdfcjfoifbjplmificlkdfneafllkgmn

    And disabling it fixes the problem. Though ive never had those popups on normal websites either. Had no idea chrome extensions could go in and alter stuff like fields in WordPress. I would never have connected those dots myself.

    Thank you!
