How to choose different input formats when using tinymce?
Hello, I've got a site that I upgraded from 4.7.4 to 5.0. I also upgraded tinyMCE with it. I noticed that Tiny MCE makes the input formats ineffective. For example, if I choose 'php code' from the input formats when posting a new page, instead of parsing the php code, it just displays it. It does the same thing no matter which input format I choose. Any ideas what may be wrong? - jody

Yes, you can't use TinyMCE with PHP code -- it translates the < in the <?php to a web-safe character. You need to click the button that lets you directly edit the source (it's there in the standard TinyMCE setup) and enter your code that way.

I tried that, but there seem to be several things it trims out. Like, on one page I'm trying to add html for a form. Any form elements, it just deletes out. Is there a setting to allow all html tags? - jody
For users who will be inputting php code, you should disable tinymce by default -- the setting can be adjusted in users' profiles, and sitewide via the tinymce settings. Cheers, Bill Jody Cleveland wrote:

It's a shame there's not an easy way to do that. It's very rare that any pages will need php code. I just have a few pages where I use <?php include("page.html"); ?> to include external pages. Ah, well. Thanks for the info! - jody
