[Resolved] Text Editor Stripping Content?

[Daniel]

Hey there. We have tag pages that present stock quotes to readers. Under the tag description on our old site, this is what we have for example:

<div class="qtool" data-qmod-tool="detailedquotetabchartnews" data-qmod-params="{&quot;symbol&quot;:&quot;ABT:CA&quot;}"></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Articles including TSX:ABT</h2>

This will display a quote area with pricing info on the “symbol” I input, as well as display a heading and then the related posts. However, whenever I update the page, it’s stripping it out so it looks like this:

<div class="qtool" data-qmod-tool="detailedquotetabchartnews"></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Articles including TSX:ABT</h2>

Is there any reason why it is stripping this out, and how can I go about fixing it? This is new to me, as my old Studiopress theme lets me input it as I like.

The weirdest thing is…. If I paste the whole code, and remove something then save, it doesn’t strip it.

So for example, I’ll past the code, but remove the H2 portion, doesn’t strip it when I save.

Hi there,

Are you referring to the tags description field?

That’s all handled by WordPress and the theme doesn’t control the functionality.

I believe it doesn’t allow HTML by default. Maybe something like this would help?

Awesome! That worked.

No problem 🙂
