Scripts in Bio Stripped since Upgrade to WP 5.9

Hi @strangefortune –

The reason that is being stripped out is related to the latest version of the plugin where I (intentionally) changed how the fields were displayed for security reasons. This isn’t related to updating WordPress to 5.9.

There is a filter available that allows you to change what’s allowed in the bio field. If you add the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file (or add it to a custom plugin) you’ll be able to use those scripts again:

add_filter( 'sslp_staff_member_bio_kses_allowed_html', function( $allowed_html ) {
    // Still allow all elements from the "post" context.
    $allowed_html = wp_kses_allowed_html( 'post' );

    // Allow script tags.
    $allowed_html['script'] = [
        'src' => [],
        'type' => []
    ];

    // Allow this custom DOM element.
    $allowed_html['healcode-widget'] = [
        'data-type' => [],
        'data-widget-partner' => [],
        'data-widget-id' => [],
        'data-widget-version' => []
    ];
    return $allowed_html;
}, 10 );
