    I’m using wordpress version 4.2.2
    Buddypress version 2.2.3.1
    I am using a child theme of twentyfifteen.
    I can’t send a link to my site as it’s still in development.

    I am using BuddyPress with the plugins :
    -BuddyPress Groups Extras
    -BP Simple Front End Post
    -BP Default Group Tab
    -Blog categories for groups

    I would like to be able to add formatting to my group descriptions.

    In admin – I can seemingly edit the description in the sections Groups and Groups Pages. But any changes I make aren’t saved.

    I can edit the description on the front end of the site when in that group as an administrator, but I can’t add any formatting.
    Even if I add formatting in code, it isn’t saved.

    Can anybody help explain what I can do to resolve this?
    I would like to either have a toolbar on the description on the frontend, or be able to edit in the backend and for it to save my changes.

    thanks!

    For basic security consideration, a form field is strictly restricted to text only. That’s why you haven’t access to a text editor for a group description field.

    If despite this, you want add some html tags to the group description, you can remove some of the filters. But be warned that that will create a security hole on your site and don’t expect help for such a sensible hack !

    Thanks for your reply danbp – I certainly don’t want to do anything that will impact on security!
    I’ll try and come at it from another angle…
