Hello,

I know this is a problem with Wordpress and TinyMCE cleaning the HTML code and striping the span, i tag, empty div tags, etc when you change from visual editor to text. But I needed to use the i tag to implement my custom icon font and still take advantage of the CSS formating without having to rewrite the shortcode part.

So I was modifying my function.php and adding the following :

function change_mce_options($initArray) {

$ext = 'pre[id|name|class|style],div[*],span[*],i[*], iframe[align|longdesc|name|width|height|frameborder|scrolling|marginheight|marginwidth|src]';

if (isset($initArray['extended_valid_elements'])) {

$initArray['extended_valid_elements'] .= ',' . $ext;

} else {

$initArray['extended_valid_elements'] = $ext;

}

return $initArray;

}

add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init', 'change_mce_options'); 

First of all it seems to work without any problem. I would like to know if this might break other functionalities in the theme ?

If not then I think it's a good thing to share this little trick with others.

Best,

Alex

Hi,

ok thank you for your answer, I have not noticed something strange yet and I've been playing with the theme quite a bit.

Best,
