HTML tags being stripped from the description box

  • When I create a snippet that might be a little complicated, I’d like to bold some text, use paragraph html tags and use lists.

    The current state ofthe plugin will strip all html from the description metabox even though I use the tinymce wysiwyg and even if use the “text” section of the input metabox.

    Could you please allow some tags to come through or perhaps add some filters so i can extend without having to edit your plugin files.

    Currently, if I replace this (lines 1266 to 1270 in /plugins/post-snippets/src/PostSnippets/Edit.php):

    //******************** Preparing Snippet Description ************************* */

     $snippet_desc = sanitize_textarea_field( $_REQUEST[‘snippet_desc’] ?? ” );

    //****************************** END *********************************** */

    with this:

    //******************** Preparing Snippet Description ************************* */

    $snippet_desc = wp_kses_post( $_REQUEST[‘snippet_desc’] ?? ” );

    //****************************** END *********************************** */

    it will work.

    Any ideas?

    This is how I’ve handled my issue. I’ve hard-coded in the /plugins/post-snippets/src/PostSnippets/Edit.php file line 1266

                //******************** Preparing Snippet Description ************************* */

                // Custom allowed HTML tags
                $allowed_html = array(
                    'h1' => array(),
                    'h2' => array(),
                    'h3' => array(),
                    'h4' => array(),
                    'h5' => array(),
                    'h6' => array(),
                    'b' => array(),
                    'pre' => array(),
                    'p' => array(),
                    'ul' => array(),
                    'ol' => array(),
                    'li' => array(),
                );

                // Override the description sanitization
                $snippet_desc = wp_kses($_REQUEST['snippet_desc'] ?? '', $allowed_html);

                //****************************** END *********************************** */

    Would be neat to have a filter on this so I can change for my use but you wouldn’t have to change the plugin core code to this extent.

    Thanks!
