This code is in your themes functions.php file at the top and should be removed. Once you remove it, the functionality will work as expected. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/html-causing-error-in-post-content-template#post-20075 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 16:26:34 +0000 Carl Hancock 20075@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This is happening because your theme is doing something that it should not be doing on purpose. It's applying the stripslashes function call to ANYTHING that posts. This is bad. Very bad. Plugins aren't expecting this to happen so it can cause problems. </p> <p>Gravity Forms uses AJAX and utilizes slashes in the code, your theme is stripping out the slashes because it's applying this to all POST actions. So any form that is submitted, including the form editor. This is bad because your theme is assuming it's all right to globally do this, when it is not.</p> <p>The code is in your themes functions.php at the top. It looks like this:</p> <pre><code>if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) { $_POST = array_map( &#39;stripslashes_deep&#39;, $_POST ); $_GET = array_map( &#39;stripslashes_deep&#39;, $_GET ); $_COOKIE = array_map( &#39;stripslashes_deep&#39;, $_COOKIE ); $_REQUEST = array_map( &#39;stripslashes_deep&#39;, $_REQUEST ); }</code></pre> <p>I would suggest removing that code and testing your theme. They shouldn't be doing this. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/html-causing-error-in-post-content-template#post-20070 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 15:46:41 +0000 jaylandry 20070@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I sent the info over the Contact Us form.<br /> Thanks for your help, Carl. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/html-causing-error-in-post-content-template#post-20053 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 13:19:04 +0000 Carl Hancock 20053@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This could be a mod_security issue.

It allows simple tags like b and i, but whenever I try to add anything like href, img src, or any style tags at all, it tells me there was an error and it couldn't be saved. I have deactivated all my plugins but it hasn't helped. My GF and WP are up to date.</p> <p>Any ideas why this is happening?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
