WordPress: Coding it sucks

Just found a fix for it… a plug-in called WP Unformatted. It’s cool, you can just specify which pages or posts you don’t want to autoformat. Just read the README that’s included with the download for a how-to. :)

Oh and one last thing, I don’t want to disable Autop – I still need it for when editing in Visual mode – ie: blog posting

@ Matt, Yeah it’s not turning P into DIV, it’s turning DIV into P – which is just as bad. I’ve looked at extending the filter system – but I’m yet to see that without hacking the core. Care to point me to a URL? All the posts etc I’ve seen online point you to changing the filters in the wpautop function. Because wpautop is a general function and not part of a class, I can’t write an override for it. If I go hack the core, next release will see it being reverted.

If the 2.5beta is available let me know, I’d love to run it through some tests – and write a review here. I’ve seen the demo site but really haven’t had a chance to test it. (I have another site I’m throwing together so it’d be a great place to trial 2.5)

I think you guys are doing a great job, and I thank you for dropping by. I know there is a lot of angst out there around the code editor so to see it improved in 2.5 would be awesome!!

I’m with you. I love WordPress, but it SO annoying when you write something in the code editor, only to find it all changed in the visual editor. It drives me crazy!

I think there might be some confusion here.

Autop doesn’t change Ps to DIVs, maybe it was the WYSIWYG that did that?

You can extend, remove, and add filters using the filter system, which all posts go through. There are plugins that disable autop and texturize, it only takes two lines.

But before you do that, would love to track down the bugs that you’re running into. The P to DIV thing I believe is already fixed in 2.5 beta by the new WYSIWYG, but not sure what you mean by the others.
