I am trying to use Page Builder by Site Origin to build a form with my html from my old Dreamweaver website. The TEXT widget that contains my opening HTML includes tag and then another TEXT widget box at the bottom of the form has my closing HTML including tag.

The problems I am having:
* The tag keeps being added to the end of my HTML in my opening TEXT widget when form is displayed online.
* The disappears in the TEXT widget at the bottom of my form in the closing TEXT widget.
* Some of the code is being removed from the opening TEXT widget. ()

I have tried some plug ins to keep HTML from changing with no luck, please tell me if you have any suggestions.

Code I am using for opening TEXT widget:

Code I am using for closing TEXT widget:

    Yes please, here is some more information, I could not get the html in the post:

    I am trying to use Page Builder by Site Origin to build a form with my html from my old Dreamweaver website. The TEXT widget that contains my opening HTML includes <form> tag and then another TEXT widget box at the bottom of the form has my closing HTML including </FORM> tag.

    The problems I am having:
    * The </FORM> tag keeps being added to the end of my HTML in my opening TEXT widget when form is displayed online.
    * The </FORM> disappears in the TEXT widget at the bottom of my form in the closing TEXT widget.
    * Some of the code is being removed from the opening TEXT widget. (<form action="reserve.php" method="post" id="Reservation Form">)

    Code I am using for opening TEXT widget:

    <input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Reservation" />
    <input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="success-res.html" />

    Code I am using for closing TEXT widget:

    1. I don't know whether I'm experiencing any compatibility issues w/the SO builder & tineMCE, per se, but it seems that if I write a <section> tag in one builder row, tinyMCE closes the tag in that same row, same panel, which means my section cannot be any larger than a single row.
    I've already disabled WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically in Options > Writing. There's no mention of auto-closing html tags in the documentation for either plugin, so…please advise?
    thx

    Thanks for your detailed feedback.

    We’ll try to assist but it’s worth mentioning that using the SiteOrigin Contact Form widget or one of the following form plugins would be much easier.

    Contact Form 7: https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/
    Ninja Forms: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ninja-forms/
    Formidable Forms: https://wordpress.org/plugins/formidable/

    Just to name a few. WPBegginer has a nice overview post on form plugins here: http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/5-best-contact-form-plugins-for-wordpress-compared/

    WordPress, for security reasons, does strip a lot of HTML tags. It might be worth trying the following widget in Page Builder for your code:

    I really enjoy the flexibility of the page builder however if there is no way to do what I am trying to do in page builder I will look into the plugins you suggested. Thank you

    Enhanced Text widget within Page Builder has the best chance of accomplishing the task you’ve outlined. If that doesn’t help then, unfortunately, this would need to be done outside of Page Builder.

  6. Robert Ross 9 years, 11 months ago

    Ok Thank you, I will look into other options.

    Thanks for your understanding. Hope you’re able to find a solution.
