Thanks for this. Sure it isn't the result wanted, but these WYSIWYG's need to grow up and realise that they are over working a problem that doesn't exist. Pain in the 'you know what'!

I've turned off the WYSIWYG editor and have been writing raw HTML. This isn't the “greatest” solution, but I haven't had a chance to try to re-enable it and figure out what a more correct solution is. I just don't think that TinyMCE has evolved to a point where you can intermix native HTML and the interpreted editor.

So curious what do you use to create you page and add divs and styling ? I am trying to find something that will make wordpress more friendly. I am awnting to put some widgets on pages like the homepage and then put in my own content on certain pages but so far it is not letting me do that .. Can you please suggest something .

I am using 2.6.2. And what I am trying to do is stop it from removing my precious p tags. under wp-admin/js/editor.js,

I commented off two lines and replaced it with a new one

//content = content.replace(new RegExp(‘\\s*’, ‘mgi’), ”);

//content = content.replace(new RegExp(‘\\s*\\s*’, ‘mgi’), ‘\n\n’);

content = content.replace(new RegExp(‘\\s*\\s*\\s*’, ‘mgi’), ‘\n’);

it now only removes tags with empty content. i hope. seems working for me. hope it helps someone.

Mario’s solution (#6) worked for me. I’m on WP 2.3.3.

Thanks!

Does anyone have a solution for WP 2.5 and up? This worked great for version before that but I can’t seem to find that code anywhere in the tiny_mce_config.php file. Did div code move?

Just delete the p/-div[*] from the list then the will not be replaced by the tag. Worked here!

ok ppl, i found the solution. Where it mentions “p/-div[*]“, replace it with this “div/-div”. It work out for me.
