Awesome plugin, doing it’s job!

WP Version 5.8.1 It’s still working!!

Despite the naysayers the plugin is still working in November 2021 – all credit to the developer. All hail Gregory Cornelius!!

Oh – that’s cool! – also with WP 5.5

Thank you! – the plug-in is very helpful to the workflow.

Raw HTML Reviews

simple, works.

Although if you have the perfectly corrected and formatted html, save it offline in case an accidently trip through the visual editor destroys your carefully laid out code. (or get the pro version)

То, что нужно! =)

Спасибо! РАБОТАЕТ =) Простой плагин позволяющий без лишних танцев и приблуд избежать автоформатирования от WordPress & TinyMCE =)

Does not work

Just installed this and has no effect when using the WordPress Code Editor, items between the raw tags still get reformatted by wordpress.
