Allowable tags affected by log-in status

  1. Hi:

    I'm using the filter below in my functions.php file to allow tags in my fields. It works fine if a user is logged in. But it reverts to disallowing certain tags and tag attributes again when a user is not logged in. I need it to always allow all tags and attributes, regardless of the user's logged-in status.

    How do I do this?

    add_filter("gform_allowable_tags_12", "allow_basic_tags");
    function allow_basic_tags($allowable_tags){
    return true;
    }

  2. There's a related recent support request that was passed on to a "priority ticket" (in case that's relevant):

  5. I keep thinking about this (probably because I need to get this to work)...

    It seems that GF, when it comes to the submission of HTML, even when relaxing its guard via gform_allowable_tag, is still more restrictive with non-logged-in users than with logged-in users. Basically, I need it to loosen up totally when it comes to HTML, including with non-logged-in users.

    Thanks.

  6. Please take a look at the screenshot at http://cpix.org/2012-06-03_15-24-09.snagproj.png

    The HTML code pointed at by the red arrow will be submitted just fine when a user is logged in. But It gets stripped out for users who are not logged in.

    I need it to get dumped into the post also for users who are not logged in.

    Thank you.

    As far as I know, allowable_tags doesn't hook into WordPress permissions/logged-in or out status, so something else might be causing your issue.

    Are you using the latest Gravity Forms and WordPress? Are you hooking into anything else in terms of Gravity Forms in your functions.php file?

  9. I've noticed this behavior even without any GF hooks or filters in my functions.php file.

  10. I am closing this ticket as a Priority Support ticket was opened for this request. Just so other users are aware, I believe this issue is related to WordPress Multi-Site. It locks down what tags can be used in posts/etc. and only allows admins to use certain tags. This is to prevent scripts, etc. from being used maliciously. So this issue is a WordPress core issue related to what is permitted in post content.
