    Preface: I have many sites using various versions of WP and SL. They all work fine EXCEPT the last two I've installed.

    this site running wp 2.51 and sl 5.5 rc3

    Problem: I make some changes to the formating in the HTML view of the editor, save changes and the page views fine.
    BUT if is switch back to the Visual view, the HTML code gets changed and totally screws up the page.

    Attached image shows diff of both versions, working on the LEFT and NON working on the RIGHT

    Is this a SL or WP problem?

    Do you have the option checked for the editor to correct improper HTML code?

    This option in Settings > Writing > WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically
    is checked.

    Is that the problem or the solution?

    Not sure if it is or not, Larry will I am sure have more to say about that, however, I have had situations where I had to save the post or page while in HTML mode because returning to visual mode upset the HTML code. Unfortunately, I think this is one of the drawbacks of the tinyMCE editor.

    Even if SAVE before switching back to Visual, the code gets changed.

    The site is www.xoursurf.com.

    This is a site that is almost an exact copy of another customer's site. The other site is running WP 2.3.3 ans Semiologic 5.0.2.

    This message's attachments are the exact code from the Working and NON Working versions.

    One thing I've noticed, is that switching back to visual mode will remove CENTER tags and move line break tags.

    One other thing, after I exit or log out of the Dashboard with the HTML view of the editor being the last view of that page, even if I do more stuff in the Dashboard after , when I log back to the Dashboard and >> Manage >> Page and Edit that Page, it opens with the Editor showing the HTML view.

    Didn't this used to always open with the Visual View by default?

    Thanks for your help so far.

    Sorry that I wasn't clear that this should be the solution. I really prefer the editor that was in 5.0.2 and would like to see that come back to SL (or at least have it as a choice). Formatting, highlighting, background color and font type are needed. I don't like the tinyMCE advance plugin in its present form because of the overflow of the lines when you add too many icons.

    Back to the problem. Before FCKeditor, I often switched off the WYSISYG editor and pasted in my content created in Nvu, and published. Then you can turn the editor back on, and just remember not to ever edit that post or page with wysiwyg activated. A PITA but it may get you through until next release, if it still works.

    Your point about the editor opening in HTML mode on a post that had been edited in HTML code I think was a feature in FCKeditor to avoid the wysiwyg editor changing the tags, thus avoiding the problem you are now having.
