Hi R,

 

When applying code to any post or page edit field, it's strongly advisable to use the Text mode.  Visual will strip code out, while text mode keeps it.  One little note, WordPress doesn't like the <i> tag for italics.  Instead, it uses <em>.  I'd suggest adjusting that accordingly and when your code enhanced text is placed in the Text Mode, you'll see some results.

The visual editor will not recognise the <i> tag, unless you use a filter to add it, and trust me thats a real PITA and it still strips it lol

 

Take Robs advice and never use the editor, it sucks anyway.

You can also try this plugin, it's what a lot of people use because of this issue:

Thanks appreciate the advice and plugin.

 

Asking not to use the visual mode is a bummer, I like code and all but it's just faster to throw down content.

 

Cheers!

R,

 

You can use the Text mode and swap back and forth to see the visual mode very easily.

 

See the image below.  The tabs at the top right let you swap back and forth while creating posts or pages. Even works for Boxes, Features or other elements that have an editing field.

 

You'd just paste or edit with code in the Text mode, then visually modify using the tools available in Visual Mode.  Wordpress, not PageLines wisely made that so that people do not accidentally post code into visible areas of their sites.

Hi. I found this post when searching through the forums, and I thought my icon font shortcode plugin might come in handy:

If it helps, great.

(It allows shortcodes in Visual Editor : )
