Does anyone know a fix for wordpress removing the thead table tag when switching from text to visual editors?
I have a basic table
<table>
<thead>
<th colspan="2">Prizes</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>1st-5th</td>
<td>$50 ticket</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>6th-10th</td>
<td>$31.50 ticket</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>11th-20th</td>
<td>$10 ticket</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
When i preview this it’s working fine. I switch from text to visual and it does the following to the head area
<p>Prizes</p>
<table>
<thead></thead>
So it removes the TH tag completely and puts the text inside that outside the table and into P tags.
I did have issues like this with P tags and some other tags but after installing TinyMCE Advanced it fixed the issue.
This new issue has only appeared since the last update ( I think ).
WordPress 4.7.5 is current version.
