Hello everyone. So I have installed Drupal 7.4 locally and have installed zen base theme, wysiwyg module, and TinyMCE 3.4.3.2 in library. After I type text into the wysiwyg editor for a page or a block, or anything, it shows as plain text with the HTML tags on my site. I have been searching and trying things for 6 hours and can't figure it out. I also unzipped jwysiwyg and open wysiwyg to sites/all/libaries but they don't show up as options in the wysiwyg module configuration. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Make sure you're using the 'filtered html' or 'full html' text formats and not 'plain text'.

I have tried this with filtered and full HTML, neither work. Rich text is enabled, I assume it should be?

Double check the filters that are applied to the full and filtered text formats.

Also try it without the wysiwyg editor module enabled.

I have tried it without the module entering my own HTML tags and it still doesn't work, don't know how to double check the filters that are applied.

edit: checked applied filters in configuration/content authoring/text formats and it looks like the applied filters are set as they should be. I'm pulling my hair out here!!

The only other thing i can think of is to try clearing the cache (admin/config/development/performance) -- and clear your browser cache as well.

If rich text is enabled, you should not be entering any HTML into the text field. If you do, the filter will escape the HTML bits and they will "look like HTML" when they display. If you want to enter HTML, disable the rich text.

Thanks! I'll have to try this. I found a workaround yesterday by creating my own text type, naming it "Pure Html" and removing some of the TinyMCE plugins I had, one of them must have been the Rich Text plugin.

I spent 2 days stuck on the same problem until I finally found your post, your solution worked for me too, create another HTML profile and start with minimal buttons, I will start adding more buttons bit by bit to see if the problem happens again.
Thank-you
