Well, give opajaap some time to figure it out. I’m sure he is going nuts trying to fix the problem and if he could create the very complex plugin in the first place, I have no doubt that he will find the answers to the problem.

Time is on the side of he who has patience… Unfortunately, most people don’t!

Don’t have a “Table IV-B10”

I fixed all the descriptions by hacking the database and removing over one hundred thousand HTML tags that do not work anymore.

For others that are having the same problem and are comfortable editing your SQL database in a text editor I recommend these steps.

1. Download your database and open it in Notepad++. Save as a copy to edit so you have the original to fall back on!

2. Replace all </p><p> combinations with
for a next line continuation of text and
</br> for a double line.

3. Find and replace remaining <p> tags with nothing.

4. 3. Find and replace remaining </p> tags with nothing.

Example before:
<p>BIKER TRIP HAIR "The hair was intentionally chaotic! Multi-textured dreadlocks with colored ties" Peter Gray said at the Betsey Johnson show during Fashion Week SS11.</p><p> Nails by Nomie Crème, Butter London.

Example after:

Special characters that need to be replaced (or text will fail to display anything after special character:

?			(copyright)
Replace with:
??

?			(trademark)
Replace with:
a€?

“			(left quote)
Replace with:
a€?“

”			(right quote)
Replace with:
a€”

é			(e acute accent)
Replace with:
?é

è			(e grave accent )
?è

There are others that are not listed here. If you find text that has suddenly stopped or disapeared, check your backup for the text and see if ther is a special charater in place and copy it the the new edited database.

Be careful not to edit any “code” just description html and keep a backup!

Good luck,

Ralph

I commented out line 2111 but there was no change.

// $desc = str_replace(array("<p>", "</p>", "<br />"), " ", $desc); // commented out to fix HTML in photo descriptions

Thanks,
Ralph

I found this old post about fixing an html coding error in 3.0 and could not find the snippet of code in the new plugin files.

Maybe something similar needs to be implemented in the code to get HTML to work again??

Good luck,
Ralph

We have hundreds of photo descriptions that used to display correctly with <p> tags like this one:

<em>Original description that used to work with HTML tags:</em>

<p>The scene, with Peter Gray in action at the Betsey Johnson show, hairties worn as bracelets, at the ready.  He used a lot of Redken products to help make the hair great - Redken Outshine 01 Anti-Frizz, Polishing Milk Full Frame 07, Protective Volumizing Mousse, Wool Shake 08, last but not least - Gel-Slush Texturizer.Hair: Peter Gray for Redken 5th Avenue, NYCMakeup: Sarah Lucero, Stila for Beauty.comFashions: Betsey JohnsonPhoto: Helen Oppenheim</p>

Now it appears that the <p> tags do not work any more and if you try to use them it will break the <br> tags from working as well.

I have figured out what is wrong with the HTML in descriptions. It appears that the only tag that is currently working is the line break tag
.

Can you use other tags in yours? Like <div> and <p>?

allow HTML in photo descriptions is enabled.

Thanks kepenner, that’s what I thought. Do you have any ideas as to why HTML would not be working in the wppa descriptions? The site does not have many other plugins installed so, I don’t think there are any conflicts from WP or plugins.

Do you have to install the TinyMCE plugin for wppa? I can’t seam to find it anywhere.

kepenner…

FYI… Back quotes are for posting “Code” in the WordPress forum.

Example:
<p>I wish I could get HTML working in wppa descriptions</p>

??

“Put code in between backticks.”

I am having the same problem. I am new to WordPress (I am a Drupal developer) and am trying to help a friend out with her site. Everything is up to date and Allow HTML in album and photo descriptions is checked.

It used to work but, not anymore.

<div style="font-size: 12px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: normal; padding: 3px; width: 100%; text-align: left; visibility: visible;" class="wppa-fulldesc imagedesc" id="imagedesc-1"> BIKER TRIP HAIR “The hair was intentionally chaotic!

Looks like the tags are just not being generated at all.
