In the WordPress classic editor, avoid the SyntaxHighlighter Code Block

Posted by jpluimers on 2023/10/25

When you use the WordPress classic editor (which for me still works far better than the Gutenberg one), avoid at all cost the use of the [Wayback/Archive] SyntaxHighlighter Code Block – Page 2 – WordPress.com Support.

Each time you switch between from Text View back to Visual, some characters are html-encoded, like:

  • & becomes &
  • > becomes >

Switching twice makes & into &&gt.

Switching three times makes & into &&&gt.

I already explained why to avoid the Gutenberg editor in Bookmarklet to force WordPress classic-editor.
