HTML entities not being converted in directory.

Hi @krolyn,

Can you please attach the screenshots of this issue so we can better understand what do you mean.

Let us know.
Regards.

@ultimatemembersupport How do you attach screenshots? I’ve already included a link to a page which clearly shows the problem. Look for the ampersand symbol and you’ll see that it presents as the entity &-a-m-p-; (I’ve included the dashes to prevent the ampersand symbol showing)

This is also an issue in text area blocks.

@ultimatemembersupport Further to my last message, this is occurring in all textarea blocks and the directory tagline. Text boxes appear to be fine. What is required is htmlspecialchars_decode() or html_entity_decode().

@ultimatemembersupport Just wondering if this is being addressed?

@ultimatemembersupport This still remains unresolved. I have sent you a support ticket in reference. Ampersands still presenting as HTML entities on directory descriptions/bios and profile textarea fields.

This is a temporary fix for anyone coming across this issue —

//* Fix for HTML entities in textareas
add_filter( 'um_profile_field_filter_hook__textarea', 'eq_textarea_html_entity_fix', 100, 2 );
function eq_textarea_html_entity_fix( $value, $data ) {
    if ( isset( $data['html'] ) && $data['html'] == 1 ) {
        return $value;
    }
    $value = html_entity_decode( $value );
    return $value;
}
