Raw HTML Plugin for WordPress
Introduction
Recently I needed to put some style definitions and a JavaScript function in a post on another blog that I have. I wasted several hours trying to do this, because WordPress insisted on putting backslashes in front of my apostrophes, inserting superfluous <p> or <br /> tags in place of newlines, and generally breaking my HTML in various horrible ways.
In the end I decided to just go and write a plugin that would let me disable the automatic formatting that WordPress applies to post content. This plugin adds a set of shortcodes that you can use to “protect” specific parts of your post and prevent WP from messing with them.
Download & Installation
Requirements :
- WordPress 2.8 or later
- If you use the free version, I strongly recommend disabling the visual editor. It (the editor) can mess up your code even if you use this plugin.
Installation is straightforward – download the zip file, unzip, upload the raw-html folder to /wp-content/plugins and activate it in the Plugins tab.
Usage
There are two ways to use the plugin. First, to turn off “smart quotes” and other built-in filters for an entire post, use the checkboxes that Raw HTML adds to the “Edit Post” screen:
If you want to prevent a specific part of your post or page from being processed and “texturized” by WordPress, wrap it in ... or <!–raw–>…<!–/raw–> tags. The two versions work exactly the same, with one exception – the <!–raw–>’s won’t be visible to your visitors even if you deactivate the plugin.
Example :
<!--raw-->
This
is
a ‘test’!
<!–/raw–>
Result :
This
is
a 'test'!
If you view the source code of this page, you will see that the newlines are still there, and the apostrophes haven’t been converted/escaped.
Other Notes
This plugin is provided AS IS, with no guarantee that it will work on your site.

hi there,
when activating raw html, all other plugins that parse the post-text in some kind of way aren’t executed any more.
when deactivating add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wsh_extract_exclusions’, 2); all works fine – more or less 😉
breaks are keeped, only thing is, that edit text was:
-raw-
bla
bla
bla
-/raw-
is in html now:
-raw–/raw-
bla
bla
bla
the rest is as it should be.
have a hint why?
regards,
thomas
When you say other plugins aren’t executed any more, do you mean that they no longer work on the text in [raw]…[/raw] tags, or that they stop working completely, even in posts that don’t use the [raw]” tags?
If it’s the former, then that’s the intended result – Raw HTML protects text within [raw] tags from being modified by WordPress and most other plugins. This is why shortcodes and other dynamically generated code won’t work inside [raw] tags.
On the other hand, if other plugins stop working completely, that sounds like a plugin conflict. Could you tell me what plugins you’re using so that I can install them and test them for compatibility issues?
I’m wondering if you would have an idea why the opening div on my “About” page seems to get messed up: http://greggkellogg.net/home/about/.
I’m runnng WP 3.9.1 and 1.4.12 of the Raw HTML plugin.
If I try removing the div, or putting something in front of it, the problem just moves somewhere else.
It’s great to be able to use raw HTML, for things such as custom RDFa/Microdata markup.
I don’t know what could cause that. How does that part of the page look in the post editor? Which parts of the code are using [raw] tags, and are all the tags properly matched (no orphan/unclosed tags)?
is possible enable othre plugin tag ?
I have problem with WP 3.9.1 and when visual editor is disabled. Everything inside [raw] will get escaped thus totally messing up the HTML code. This doesn’t seem to work properly any more in recent WordPress versions. I have to disable the visual editor because now everything inside [raw] will either get mangled by it or just disappears completely.
It will end up looking like this after saving the post:
[raw]<table class="table" style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
and so on… Enablinf/disabling Disable convert_chars doesn’t make any difference.
Wait, so are you entering the code in Text or Visual mode? Or entering it in Text and then switching to Visual? As the documentation says, the [raw] tags will only work in Text/HTML mode. Switching to Visual is very likely to mess up the code.

I like the RAW plugin and use it with OSMaps, see for example
http://cambridgeramblers.org/walk-programme-map/
A while back I had developed a webpage showing a route (polyline) on the OSMap and this used to work fine. I have not looked at it for many months, but now the route no longer displays, even though the map and markers still display.
The following link shows how it should look – but if I embed it in WordPress, between [raw] and [/raw], the blue route does not appear.
http://cambridgeramblers.org/Test/FRW.html
Any suggestions?
When I open the first page you linked, there’s this error in the JavaScript console:
Error: TypeError: linesLayer is undefined
Source File: http://cambridgeramblers.org/walk-programme-map/
Line: 254
Looking at the page source code, it looks like the code that sets up the line is commented out:
// Set up layer for the route
// linesLayer = osMap.getVectorLayer();
Have you tried uncommenting it?
when I wrap a post’s content in [raw], it won’t show up when calling the_excerpt() any way around that?
Yes, add this line to your wp-config.php file:
define('RAW_HTML_KEEP_RAW_IN_EXCERPTS', true);
great
