WordPress Daily Routine

Inline code added to post content disappears or doesn’t execute.

Inline CSS or JavaScript Stripped from Content

Key Points: Your embedded styles/scripts vanish from the frontend or fail to run.

You paste some custom styles or a tracking script in a post… and it’s gone. WordPress has quietly sanitized it for “security,” leaving you confused and scriptless.

🛡️ Why WordPress Does This

• Inline <style> and <script> tags are often stripped for non-admins
• Post content filters apply strict HTML sanitization
• Multisite or user role restrictions block unfiltered HTML

🛠️ Solutions

1. Insert critical styles/scripts using functions.php or a shortcode
2. Grant unfiltered_html capability only to trusted roles
3. Use a plugin designed to safely embed code (like Insert Headers and Footers)

❗ Reminder

Always sanitize inputs — but if you’re the admin, you can give yourself a little more creative freedom (with caution).
