  Hello,

  Customized HTML, why did my input tag turn into plain text?

  My Html code for the input:
  Your Reference:
  <input type=”text” id=”ref” name=”ref” background-color:”#edebe5″ border:”1px solid #FFFFFF”>

  I save then publish the page, I only see the text “Your Reference:”, not the input box.

  When I go into editor mode, I can only find :

  <!– wp:html –>
  Your Reference:
  <!– /wp:html –>

  Does anyone have any idea of where it could be coming from?
  Precisely, I do it on a paid WordPress.com Personal plan.
  I don’t know if it’s the same thing in French or in English…?

  Thanks in advance.
  Ttd

  The HTML-code you can use on the wordpress.com platform is very limited because of security reasons.
  Why are you using html-code as it seems you are trying to input a Jetpack form? To do so you can use the Form Block, https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/form-block/

  Thanks for answering.

  I have tried all the forms available for my plan. They all have a button to send me an email that i can not remove and replace by another button just to go to the next page … as you can see : https://cegreatpublic.com/donation/

  Not yet, persons who already have an ID (Reference) can click on NEXT button to go to the Donation Form. Otherwise, they need to get one with the form in the right column
