WYSIWYG with HTML source?

Question

I'm trying to switch from Drupal to WordPress, and I have lots of articles written in Drupal's WYSIWYG Editors, and stored like

<p>Hi, this is an article</p><p><img bla='bla'></img></p>

So I want to directly copy the source code and paste it into WordPress. I can do it by disabling the visual text editor. So it works for migrating existing articles in.

But what about writing new articles?

I couldn't find any wysiwyg editors that automatically insert <p> tags. I tried the Ultimate TinyMCE plugin, but it only adds some buttons, does not change the situation.

To summarize my problem:

When I write

Article line 1
Article line 2

in the "Visual" Tab, I want to see

<p>Article line 1</p><p>Article line 2</p>

in the "Text" Tab.

But instead, I see exactly what I wrote, and this causes bad HTML output, when getting $post->post_content;

Thanks !

Answer 1

Why not automate the move from Drupal to WP? I think WP will fix some of the P tag issue during the upload. http://codex.wordpress.org/Importing_Content#Drupal

If that isn't an option, I think WP is using br's instead of full new p. From the visual editor, I'd delete the copied break altogether and "enter" a new one.

Answer 2

It seems the solution for this is the plugin called TinyMCE Advanced.

Just install it, and go to Settings -> TinyMCE Advanced -> Check the box where it says Stop removing the <p> and <br /> tags when saving and show them in the HTML editor
