I've encountered a strange issue since the update to the new cPanel HTML Editor. Despite my website code being clean—no sign of contenteditable="true"—the attribute appears on my webpage, making the text editable. It shows up in the body tag as follows: . Has anyone else experienced this with the new HTML Editor? It feels like the WYSIWYG editor is acting up. Previously, I didn't have any issues with the old version, which simply let me save the HTML directly. Now I have to return to the WYSIWYG page for saving. Any ideas?

It sounds like you might be viewing the site in the editor mode instead of the live version. Double-check that you’re accessing the actual webpage.
Are you logged in as an admin? If so, try checking the site in a private or incognito window. There could be a setting that allows edits while logged in. If that doesn’t work, it might be best to reach out to your hosting provider since it could be a bug.
Are you seeing the editable content when the site is live, or just while in the editor? If it’s live, check if the contenteditable attribute appears in the actual page source (use CMD + U) or just in Inspect Element.

Thanks for the tip! I tried incognito mode, but the issue remains. I’m reaching out to GoDaddy/cPanel now; it seems like a bug on their end.
