This solves the problem but I really hate hacking the core since with every update we'll have to re-edit the file. Did you ever get around to releasing that plugin? I tried to create a plugin based on Otto's code but I couldn't get it to work - but my plugin creation ability is not where I'd like it to be. --------------------------- Leo cwna

Hello. IDK if it's the same for WP MU, but in WP, the damned function that strips our text is wp_filter_kses().

kses_init_filters() adds it as filter to 5 hooks, kses_init() calls this function, and it is added as action to init and set_current_user. All those functions are in kses.php

Note the current_user_can('unfiltered_html'). That's the trick, kses_init() removes the filter from all hooks and adds it back if user can't use clean HTML.

So, instead of hacking WordPress core or using codes to remove the filter, just set unfiltered_html role to uses that should have it, and WordPress core will do it's job nicefully without having to be hacked

I was hoping I could modify this plugin to activate HTML in WordPress MU Bios (on profile pages). But, no dice.

However, this plugin somehow worked for getting HTML into the bios:

It takes an interesting approach...

I love you! Been trying to write a plugin to unhook this for 2 days now.. This way is MUCH easier!

I hope WP admin in future has an option to turn ON/OFF this !

Cheers,

You may want to try Wordpress PHP Exec Plugin for that purpose.

Thanks so much for this. I was pulling my hair out trying to get it to work.

You're awesome. I finally got this to work. I followed this procedure: 1. Open file wp-includes/kse.php in your WordPress MU folder 2. Locate line 717 to find: add_filter('content_save_pre', 'wp_filter_post_kses'); 3. insert # before add_filter and you should have this: #add_filter('content_save_pre', 'wp_filter_post_kses'); However, in the current WP MU distribution, version 2.6, the line that you must edit in kses.php is Line 1021. But the command that you have to comment out is the very same as before. Thanks again!
