Break-tags are removed

I have a problem, which really keeps annoying me.

As you know the auto formatting is a common wordpress problem. <p> tags are randomly added an </br> tags removed, when you switch from the visual to the html tab.

I tried everything..

Adding this code to functions.php:
remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wpautop’);
remove_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘wpautop’);
remove_filter(‘comment_text’, ‘wpautop’);
remove_filter(‘the_title’, ‘wpautop’);

and installing like 4 plugins didnt work for me.

<br>-tags still get removed when switching tabs/saving in visual editor.

Do you have any idea how to solve that problem? It really annoys me..

Cheers

Right with you there, seems to have gotten really bad last couple versions of wordpress. There might be bugtrac for this, but havent looked. I have been hoping next version of wp might fix this.

I guess its actually wptexturize.

Wordpress intentionally hides formatting to make it easier to write.

Some stuff i have been reading is to save in text mode, publish in text mode to keep the html.

Fir br tag i think there us a class called clear to keep br tag. Not yet tried.

Saving in text mode is the only working way, but as soon as you jump back to the visual editor it deletes all the set breaks.

I am using like 4-5 breaks in each of my articles, so it’s more than just annoying but i got used to it.
