Cons

WordPress strips Javascript in the Posts

For instance, if you want to add a pretty button like the following:

<button style=”display: inline-block;
padding: 12px 24px;
font-size: 18px;
font-weight: bold;
color: white;
background-color: #1babdf;
border: none;
border-radius: 8px;
cursor: pointer;
transition: background-color 0.3s ease;
text-decoration: none;”
onmouseover=”this.style.backgroundColor=’#0e7aa8′”
onmouseout=”this.style.backgroundColor=’#1babdf'”
onclick=”window.open(‘http://54.248.28.115/IB_refer_articles’, ‘_blank’);”>Interactie Brokers Exclusive Account Opening Offer Link</button>

WordPress will auotmatically remove the onmouseover, onmouseout, and onclick in your code.

It’s troublesome.
