Trying to get a button working in content item but ckeditor won't let me.

I tried pasting in source. But when toggling back and forth bewteen source and rich text editor the html changes.

Goes from:

<button>click</button>

To 

<p>click</p>

I've tried:

<p><button>click</button></p>

Not working either.

This never happened before, a settings thing?

    You sure it is CKEditor and not your text format filters?

  • Just to understand: Are we talking about a site where Drupal has been upgraded (e.g. from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8)? I am referring to your This never happened before.

For FILTER HTML go to:

/admin/config/content/formats/filtered_html

add <button> to the limit allowed HTML Tags list.

enter image description here

If you use FULL HTML the button should work.

If not try

go to:

/admin/config/content/ckeditor/edit/Advanced (for Filter HTML)

/admin/config/content/ckeditor/edit/Full (for Full HTML)

Then under Advanced Content Filter, select disabled.

  • It would be helpful if the OP would make clear what This never happened before. means. It seems strange that, without changing settings, the result changes, except if a module was installed/updated. If the settings were changed, they must be one of the ones listed in this answer.

  • Deleting a text format started this behavior. Thank you for trying to help

U will have to change above settings, for all text format like: filtered_html, full_html. After that clear your website cache, and it will work.

/admin/config/content/formats/filtered_html

/admin/config/content/formats/full_html

  • I went and edited all formats to the settings above, one change I DID do in the past while was delete a text format, because disable doesn't disable, it deletes them, that's a bug I read about. How can I delete all text formats and reset the original ones? I think something might have gotten corrupted.

This is Drupal bug that has been around for years, not even fixed in Drupal 8.

I deleted a text format, disable = delete, not disable, only way to get it back is through PHPmy admin and set to true and false...

Solution:

DON'T TOUCH TEXT FORMATS!

Anybody correct me if I'm wrong, but that's the conclusion I came to.
