Umbraco 7 tinyMCE RTE removing HTML5 tags

votes

I installed Umbraco 7.2.5 and having issues with tinyMCE editor. The richTextEditor is removing HTML5 tags, like <section>.

I have followed the instruction to edit tinyMceConfig.config file and allow any HTML by editing the following

<validElements><![CDATA[*[*]]]></validElements>

But this is not working.

I have restarted website in IIS, but no luck.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

PS. I have another website running under Umbraco 6, and the above solution works.

This is is likely due to TidyHtml and is an unfortunate issue indeed!

Umbraco documentation shows /config/umbracosettings.config sections where Tidy can be disabled.
Heads up that the TidyEditorContent element is no longer in the default instalation of this file but can easily be added back under the content section:

   <content>
        <TidyEditorContent>False</TidyEditorContent>
    <errors>
      <error404>1</error404>
