  I have tried adding php code into both the Raw HTML and Text elements, to no avail. I’m taking code directly from WordPress’s codex, that I know to work in other cases, and using pastie.com to make sure the code is formatted cleanly.

  The output invariably comes out like the screenshot I’ve attached.

  Here is the code:

  <h3 class="spb-heading">Press</h3>
  <ul>
  <?php
  	$args = array( 'numberposts' => '5' );
  	$recent_posts = wp_get_recent_posts( $args );
  	foreach( $recent_posts as $recent ){
  		echo '<li><a href="' . get_permalink($recent["ID"]) . '" title="Look '.esc_attr($recent["post_title"]).'" >' .   $recent["post_title"].'</a> </li> ';
  	}
  ?>
  </ul>

  Thanks,
  Greg

  Hi

  You can’t add php to the raw html element, this only supports html (hence the name). If you want to add php to the editor, you will have to install a plugin.

  Thanks Kyle. I guess I’ll be adding this to the feature request list, as I’m not sure how adding a plugin will help me on pages that I’m using the Swift Page Builder.

  Thanks,
  Greg

  Why would it not? I use a plugin called Insert PHP Code Snippet and it works great, you set up your php code in the settings and it gives you a shortcode to add to your text box.
