WordPress HTML Editor Removing Form Tags

Question

My companies wordpress HTML editor is removing html form tags whenever I try to add this search form to the front page via the editor. On my localhost it works fine, but I can't figure out why my companies WordPress is taking it all out.

Here is what I try to add:

<div id="bigSearch">
<form action="#" method="post">
<input type="text" name="keyword" placeholder="Search By Keyword...." />
<div id="statusInputs">
<select class="status" name="statusOne">
    <option selected="selected">Status</option>
    <option value="foreclosed">Foreclosed</option>
    <option value="Mountain View">Mountain View</option>
    <option value="Golf Course">Golf Course</option>
    <option value="High Speed Access">High Speed Access</option>
    <option value="Basement">Basement</option>
    <option value="Club House">Club House</option>
    <option value="Elevator Access">Elevator Access</option>
</select>
<select class="status" name="statusTwo">
    <option selected="selected">Status</option>
    <option value="foreclosed">Foreclosed</option>
    <option value="Mountain View">Mountain View</option>
    <option value="Golf Course">Golf Course</option>
    <option value="High Speed Access">High Speed Access</option>
    <option value="Basement">Basement</option>
    <option value="Club House">Club House</option>
    <option value="Elevator Access">Elevator Access</option>
</select>
<select class="status" name="statusThree">
    <option selected="selected">Status</option>
    <option value="foreclosed">Foreclosed</option>
    <option value="Mountain View">Mountain View</option>
    <option value="Golf Course">Golf Course</option>
    <option value="High Speed Access">High Speed Access</option>
    <option value="Basement">Basement</option>
    <option value="Club House">Club House</option>
    <option value="Elevator Access">Elevator Access</option>
</select>
<select class="status" name="statusFour">
    <option selected="selected">Status</option>
    <option value="foreclosed">Foreclosed</option>
    <option value="Mountain View">Mountain View</option>
    <option value="Golf Course">Golf Course</option>
    <option value="High Speed Access">High Speed Access</option>
    <option value="Basement">Basement</option>
    <option value="Club House">Club House</option>
    <option value="Elevator Access">Elevator Access</option>
</select>
<select class="status" name="statusFive">
    <option selected="selected">Status</option>
    <option value="foreclosed">Foreclosed</option>
    <option value="Mountain View">Mountain View</option>
    <option value="Golf Course">Golf Course</option>
    <option value="High Speed Access">High Speed Access</option>
    <option value="Basement">Basement</option>
    <option value="Club House">Club House</option>
    <option value="Elevator Access">Elevator Access</option>
</select>
</div>
<input type="submit" name="submitForm" value="Search" />
</form>
<p id="advanced"><a href="#">Advanced Search</a></p>
</div>

Here is what it spits out on my companies WordPress

<div id="bigSearch">
<form action="#" method="post">

<div id="statusInputs">

Status
Foreclosed
Mountain View
Golf Course
High Speed Access
Basement
Club House
Elevator Access

</div>

</form>
<p id="advanced"><a href="#">Advanced Search</a></p>
</div>

Any suggestions while I try to figure it out would be much appreciated...

Answer 1

You can try this plugin to insert html as shortcodes

You would create a shortcode corresponding to search form. And insert it into your post
