Why is my video, form, or paypal code removed from my content article?

Answer

If you have added video code, paypal forms, or other forms to your Joomla code as discussed in our "How do I embed html form and paypal..." tip. Then you might be experiencing a blacklisting. Joomla 1.5 has an article configuration setting in its global configuration that removes tags. This is a filter that filters regardless of your WYSIWYG Editor settings. You can find and configure this setting by going to your Joomla Administrator:

  1. Select Article Manager
  2. Select the "Parameters" button in the Toolbar accross the top (button bar).
  3. Scroll down to "Filter Type". Mouse over filter type for more information.
  4. By default your articles are "Blacklisted", Choose "Whitelist", and then add the HTML element tag name (Form, Object, Embed) into the Filter Tags text box.
  5. Scroll to the top and save

Your forms and videos shouldn't be removed now.

Remember this happens regardless of your WYSIWYG Settings!
