 Hi Team,

 Ever since version 4.9 went live, the "code checking" feature is rendering
 many custom HTML snippets inoperable. There is a thread here with a few
 complaints which I found after having similar issues.

 Our code works unless it is in a widget (which is had to be on the pages
 that it is on). Ever since the update, we now get an error saying we need
 "double quotes" (and we don't) and just for fun I added them and the code
 does not work with the double quotes (because it isn't meant to).

 Here is the thread - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/html-check-
 option-in-wordpress-4-9/

 Is there a way that we can disable this feature via wp-config?

 I just sold my company on using WordPress now this is holding us up. The
 question I now have to address is "so how often will this happen as
 updates occur?" And know that I am a huge WP fan, so I am so frustrated to
 see this.

 Thanks in advance.

 Anthony
