Allow HTML Attributes in Profile Description Field

Hi,

I am looking at to add attributes in a link tag in the Profile Field description area, I can add a link but if I add another attribute like target it gets stripped on save.

I have tried…
```
function descrition_field_remove_html_filter() {
	remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_description', 'wp_filter_kses' );
}
add_action( 'bp_init', 'descrition_field_remove_html_filter' );
```
But that doesn’t fix it.

Hi,

try by adding remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_description', 'stripslashes' );

No doesn’t work either, still strips out the attribute on save. Also tried the to remove wp_filter_kses with a priority of 1– still not working though.

Just guessing…

Try using the bp_ready hook instead of bp_init.

Try adding the priority to the call:
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_profile_field_description', 'wp_filter_kses', 1 );

Try adding your attributes to the $allowedtags global.

Yes had to get it into $allowedtags – I already had tried the priority and that didn’t work. This link helped – http://ottopress.com/2010/wp-quickie-kses/

Code I used…
```
	add_action( 'init', function () {
		global $allowedtags;
	
			$allowedtags['a'] = array(
			        'href'   => array (),
			        'title'  => array (),
			        'target' => array ()
			);
		}
	);
```
