  Hello there!

  I’m trying to publish a code sample in my WordPress article, but it seems like the <script> tag is not permitted.

  I’ve been looking for support articles to help, but so far, none of the solutions I tried seem to work (like adding and

   tags to the script)
  
  Is there an html tag that I can add to the snippet so it displays in the article? 
  
  Any guidance you can provide would be much appreciated.
  
  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi!

  You’ll want to use the [code] shortcode to embed a code sample in your WordPress article.

  For example, if you want to publish an HTML code sample, try this:

  [code language="html"]
  your code here
  [/code]

  Here's the full resource on how to post source code: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/

  Specific HTML tags are allowed. The <script> tag is not one of them. More info on that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!

  Oops, let me clarify that a bit more. You can add any tags to a code sample inside the [code] shortcode.

  But if you're trying to add a <script> tag to a page, post, or widget; it won't work.
