Q: My PHP codes disappeared after clicking Save or Apply.

A: Do not use the "source button" in TinyMCE.

Just type the codes right inside TinyMCE in the default WYSIWIG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) mode.

Plugin Conflicts

If you've tried all of the above, and it still does not work, it might be because of conflicts with some other plugins or modules. To ascertain this,

Please try the plugin on a fresh install of Joomla. This will allow you to know if the plugin works on your machine at all.

If the plugin works on your fresh install of Joomla, then you could try add in the rest of the plugins and modules one by one until you find the one that causes the conflict.
