Listing content not recognising html code

    Hi there,
    have just upgraded today in my instant wordpress test environment before updating in live and have noticed that listings are not recognising html code in the main content box.
    I have the following code in the content box that appears after the Business Name and before the actual Business Details e.g. excerpt, website address and contact details.

    <p style=”text-align: justify; font-size:18px; padding-top:5px;”>**FULL REVIEW, OFFERS & CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS**</p>

    However it is only showing the text and not appearing as a link or acknowledging the style changes.

    Can you help please as I don’t want to update my live site until this is sorted.

    Kind regards

    KatieKat

    Hi KatieKat,

    Sorry that you ran into issues here.

    First, can you tell me which specific field this is in? It seems like it might be the Long Description field, but since I can’t see it, I’m just guessing here.

    If it is, check under Directory Admin->Manage Form Fields and edit that field. Under there, you should have options to enable HTML and Shortcode expansion for that field. FYI–not all fields support that, but the Long Description does for both.

    If that’s not working, it may help if you can send me screenshots of your Manage Form Fields view of that field AND a screenshot of the output in a listing where it’s broken. Use https://imageshack.us if you need to.

    Hi there,
    Apologies it is the long description. For some reason it seemed to work before without enabling the HTML option.

    Kind regards

    Hi KatieKat,

    This change was put in around 3.4 I believe–in order for your HTML to work, you’ll need to enable it now. We added security to the fields in that release to prevent malicious HTML from being added without your permission. Just enable it under Manage Form Fields and it will work again.

    Sorry should have said in my previous post that I had enabled the HTML option and it resolved the issue. Everything is fine now and have also updated in live.

    Have marked this as resolved. Thank you once again for your great support and prompt response.
