HTML tags disappear
-
Dear Sir/Madam:
When i insert HTML tags in the text tab it appears well when i switch to Visual tab. But when i click on update the HTML disappears. Only the text remains.
Am i missing some plugin? or do i have to go for a paid subscription for that.
The code i inserted is:
<form name=’customer_details’ method=’POST’ onsubmit=’return form_validation()’ action=’../customer-details.php’>
Your Name: <input type=’text’ id=’customer_name’ name=’customer_name’ />
Your Email: <input type=’text’ id=’customer_email’ name=’customer_email’ />
Sex: <input type=’radio’ name=’customer_sex’ value=’male’>Male <input type=’radio’ name=’customer_sex’ value=’female’>Female
Your Age: <input type=’text’ id=’customer_age’ name=’customer_age’ />
<input type=’submit’ value=’Submit’/>
</form>The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
WordPress.com strips certain html, including <form>, for security purposes.

You could try using the standard contact form as an alternative:

Thanks Gary,
But does that mean we cannot add custom forms?
Look at this site for e.g.How to create custom forms in WordPress without using plugins?

That article is referring to self-hosted WordPress.org websites, which are different from WordPress.com websites.

Like @garysixtyeight mentioned, WordPress.com strips <form> HTML for security purposes. You can learn more about what code can and cannot be added to WordPress.com sites here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

You could use text inputs on a standard contact form for collecting info like ages, radio buttons for sex etc.
-
Another possible alternative is that you could use a service like Google Forms, then create a link to the form from your site.
