WYSIWYG Stripping HTML - How to disable or get around

[meer2005]

The WYSIWYG editor is stripping some of the custom HTML entered, even in HTML mode. I have a local demo copy running and it doesn't even have a WYSIWYG, just plain text. I've looked around and don't see a way to disable the WYSIWYG editor, what am I missing? Any way to edit the home page html outside of the WYSIWYG editor? (both demo and live are running VERSION: 7.0.89.7670)

We have an option to disable it in our next release which is due out next week.

If you click on the tiny icon to open the "source view" and enter your custom html, does that work?

In the past, I found that having badly formatted html would cause problems as well.

I clicked on the HTML icon "Edit HTML Source" -- I don't see anything that says "source view?" It's just a featured products slider that I'm trying to put on the home page. How come my local version doesn't even have a WYSIWYG editor? I've attached a screenshot of my local version.

You are using the right thing. The HTML icon will pull up the source view (edit HTML source). I've put in sliders before, so it should work. If you have javascript code, then you will want to use the HTML Head field. Only valid html code can go into the body.

I don't know why it doesn't appear in your dev site unless you are missing files.
