and css ID’s which are critical for on page layout. * 2. Disable the visual editor… Great, except that I sell my customers a website which is **content managed**, so telling them to edit in the HTML view, completely defeats the point of content management. * 3. Just deal with it, because that the way it is. That’s not a constructive or useful answer, so if it’s the point of view you’re prophesying; rather just keep it to yourself. * Firstly, let me clarify that I’m not going to town on in page HTML and using divs to do all my layup. However, for almost every site we’ve done there’s a certain visual aesthetic or site component that needs very specific HTML syntax to work correctly and maintain its visual style. We’re careful to insert these components with the minimum amount of HTML code. * Secondly, I am well aware that there may be workarounds for a number of these instances, such as writing our own short codes or plugins. Most of our projects don’t have sufficient budget to justify the additional development to do such things, especially since this would be a non issue if WordPress would just leave my HTML code intact when editing the page with the visual editor. * Any advice or guidance on this issue would be appreciated. * /Carl Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-visual-editor-breaking-html-code/#post-5425484) * I think you missed this item on the list. 😉 * > 4. Wait for someone to write something better than TinyMCE is for the Visual > Editor for inclusion into WordPress * As you know WordPress has a dependency on using the TinyMCE editor. It has issues with raw HTML code being munged and that is a well known problem. It _does_ suck( when you want to use HTML) and everyone is aware of it. But there’s not a replacement at this time and sadly the work around you have listed above really are all that can be offered at this time.
