Adding extra html to activity updates is being filtered

Hi there, I’ve been creating a plugin which optionally can have its own status updates added to Buddypress activity updates by using the function bp_activity_add.

The problem is that when specifiying the ‘content’ for the activity to add, it goes through the apply_filters function which will strip everything except spans, imgs and p tags.

Is there any way (without hacking the bp code) to make sure it does not get so heavily filtered? I would like to add some divs and some other html tags to an activity update so that my activity update gets correctly formatted.

Thanks!

You should be able to add to the allowed tags array like so:
```
function fred_whitelist_tags_in_activity( $allowedtags ) {
    $allowedtags['a']['target'] = array();
    return $allowedtags;
}
add_filter( 'bp_activity_allowed_tags', 'fred_whitelist_tags_in_activity' );
```
You may want to do an add_filter / remove_filter in your plugin so that you don’t open up the allowed tags for other activity items.
