Even with today’s modern version 2.3 era, Wordpress’s WYSIWYG editor is still the evil, overbearing dictator it always was: “You couldn’t possibly have wanted to put that tag there - I’ll go ahead and remove it for you!” How helpfully MS-Word-smart-paste-paper-clip of you!
Thankfully, it’s easier to remove this most egregious of components than a real dictator! Just follow these easy steps:
1) Go to ‘Users’
2) Click ‘edit’ next to your account (you’ll have to do this for every user who doesn’t want WYSIWYG)
3) Uncheck ‘Use the visual editor when writing’
4) Revel in the newfound power!
