Sometime you might need to add pieces of code like HTML, CSS, PHP, or javascripts in your post and make this code “looks” like code, but “doesn’t behave” like code. WordPress.com changes codes such as <, >, &, “, and ‘ into characters. For example, if you type:
<? php query_posts('p=5'); ?>It will erased from your post when you save it. Or it will try to turn the codes into character entity codes, which can really mess some things up.
To make this WordPress template tag code appear, the code must be converted into character entities:
-
<? php query_posts('p=5'); ?>
