I was using a bad theme so the above link might not have worked. I’ve changed themes and I’m having the same problems.
This is what profiles look like:
I'm the author of <a href="http://www.henrybaum.com/2011/01/north-of-sunset-2" rel="nofollow">North of Sunset</a>, winner of the Hollywood Book Festival Grand Prize, and <a href="http://www.anothersky.org/in-print/the-golden-calf-henry-baum/" rel="nofollow">The Golden Calf</a> – first published by Soft Skull Press, with editions in the U.K. (Rebel Inc.) and France (Hachette Littératures). Visit <a href="http://www.henrybaum.com/" rel="nofollow">henrybaum.com</a> for more information. I’m the editor of <i>Self-Publishing Review</i>.
Did this happen in 1.9? Or just 1.9.1?
I don’t know. I just added the most recent version after 1.6.
I found this but it’s not working:
Enable or Disable All HTML Tags in WordPress Author Biography Profiles
//disable WordPress sanitization to allow more than just $allowedtags from /wp-includes/kses.php
remove_filter(‘pre_user_description’, ‘wp_filter_kses’);
//add sanitization for WordPress posts
add_filter( ‘pre_user_description’, ‘wp_filter_post_kses’);
I think xprofile_data_value_before_save is the hook you want to use. So, if you add this to functions.php your xprofile fields will accept HTML:
remove_filter( 'xprofile_data_value_before_save', 'xprofile_sanitize_data_value_before_save', 1, 2 );
Note: Use this with caution. Not sanitizing incoming data is dangerous so you will need to add your own custom sanitization if you use this.
That didn’t seem to do it. I can just dump that code into the theme’s functions.php file?
I’m not great with php. Or is it this:
//disable WordPress sanitization to allow more than just $allowedtags from /wp-includes/kses.php
remove_filter( ‘xprofile_data_value_before_save’,
//add sanitization for WordPress posts
‘xprofile_sanitize_data_value_before_save’, 1, 2 );
Humm, I’ll have to look into it to see exactly what’s going on here.
this is my bp-custom file:
<?php
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );
define(“BP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT”,”profile”)
?>
function remove_xprofile_links() {
remove_filter( ‘bp_get_the_profile_field_value’, ‘xprofile_filter_link_profile_data’, 9, 2 );
}
add_action( ‘bp_init’, ‘remove_xprofile_links’ );
This function above (called remove_xprofile_links) and it’s hook to bp_init might be what you need to remove. Try removing all of the above from bp-custom.php
