Ta daa. Thanks muchly. Will research kses.

Note: because this seems to be a day where everyone skips over little assumptions:

You have to add this element first for this to work.

By “this element” you mean “the input element”
By “add” you mean “add to what kses allows”
And the whole batch goes in functions.php
Though it’s hard to tell if by “add this . . . first” if it needs to be added to functions.php above/before the shortcode, or simply “do this, then it’ll work.”

Not trying to be a jerk. Just having a difficult time getting folks to write clear coherent responses to what I believe are clear coherent queries. Your answer is correct, but someone with a tiny bit less information and experience would be back here asking for clarification, perhaps multiple rounds of it.

Again, thanks for the perfect solution, and a research project that’ll deepen my understanding of this stuff.

Code in view source is now

<input id="<?php do_shortcode( handle[this_post_num]); ?>” type=”checkbox” name=”collapse” /></p>

In other words, same result, it’s just showing the new code instead of the old.

Will php really run in a form field in a post? Seems unlikely to me.

Huh. It was not there, honest! There now, though.

However, I was thinking like a developer, not an end user, so I assumed it would affect the Theme Editor. I rarely (almost never) use the Custom CSS tool, which is what this appears to work with.

Not what I was hoping for. Will continue mass copy/pasting until something better comes along.

Still interested in resolving this.

It happens with any plugin, but doing the update from within the WordPress dashboard works fine, so it’s unlikely to be permissions. Also, the error specifically mentioning both a specific line of code in wp-cli and the return of an http header issue () makes permissions problems seem less likely.

However, just to confirm, all permissions in the plugins folders are 755 for folders, 644 for files, so that shouldn’t be causing a problem.

A new host because they have tight security? I think not. I’ve been with them for over a decade and received the best customer service, not just of any hosting company, but of any business relationship, in my life.

But other technical suggestions are welcome 🙂

-jailshell: /usr/bin/su: Permission denied

My server guy has a query in to his people. He’s never used wp-cli but he has resources to check with. If I need him to do something, he’ll gladly do it barring security issues. But at this point, we’re not even sure what he could change to allow this to work.

Thanks for continuing to offer suggestions. I appreciate any help I can get.
