 * Hello,
    I am trying to add a short of js&html code to of page my website. The
   code easily worked on another html static my website but I can not run it on 
   WordPress. I’ve tried adding the code to a text box but the code disappears.
 * Why doesn’t appearing Settings > Writing: “WordPress should correct invalidly
   nested XHTML automatically” in my theme? However, interestingly this part is 
   not seening(not included, how does this happen?) in the my theme.
    Best.

 * The setting hasn’t existed for new installs for 2 years. If you want to use this
   functionality you need to add it manually with the following code.
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'content_save_pre', 'force_balance_tags', 50 );
       ```
   
 * Add it to a [Child Theme](https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes) or a [custom plugin](http://justintadlock.com/archives/2011/02/02/creating-a-custom-functions-plugin-for-end-users).
