title: text widget wordpress 4.8
body: <p>The new Text Widget in WordPress 4.8 is stripping out code.
  For example, if the following code is placed in the widget via the Text editor:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="location"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;List 1&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#" class="location"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;List 2&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Just noticed the issue this morning, after upgrading to WP 4.8 on a few sites. </p>
