  Hi there Happiness Team,

  Hope you are happy, too :D I’ve a slightly annoying problem with my codes. I put the codes inside [code language="java"][/code] tags however when I try to edit that post later on, my > signs inside the code are automatically converted to > < signs are converted to < and ” signs are converted to "

  Is there a way to prevent this from happening?

  Thanks and best regards,
  Süleyman Yasir Kula

  Sorry my post (too) is tweaked automatically. Best way is to share a link to a problem similar to mine, only difference is that they use WordPress.org whereas I use WordPress.com: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-syntax-ltgt-gt-lt-mixed-up

  Hi there, sorry for the trouble! Could you give me a link to a published post (or let me know the title of the post if it’s a draft) where this happened? That will help me take a closer look.

  Also, when you edit the post, do you use the Text editor or the Visual editor (or both)? Thanks!

  Hi, first of all thank you for your support.

  Here is an example post: http://yasirkula.com/2013/09/16/unity-android-ekranda-parmakla-cevrilebilir-direksiyon-ornegi/

  Everytime I edit this post, the problem that I mentioned occurs. I use both editors.

  Thank you.

  Thanks for sharing that example! I was able to reproduce the issue you mentioned in the new post editor, and I’ve reported that to our team so they can investigate it.

  In the meantime, I was able to edit a post in the WP Admin editor (under Posts > All Posts and clicking the “Edit” link under a post) and didn’t run into any trouble there. Are you also getting this error when you use that editor, or only when you use the new editor?

  A very nice catch there! You are totally right. This problem does not occur when I use the old editor (WP Admin editor), only when I use the new editor.

  Thanks for the help :)

  Thanks for confirming that! For now I’d recommend using the old editor when you need to edit posts with those [code] tags, and I'll let you know when I get an update from our team about the new editor. :)
