Description

The profile field Multi-Line Text Area gives the user a rich text editor when editing a profile field defined as this type.

However, if the profile field has bulleted lists or text alignment formats used it saves correctly but when re-edited the formats are lost.

Hi @neilgee - Thanks very much for the report.

I've confirmed the issue. It's due to some inconsistent HTML filtering. At the time of profile save, rich text field values are sanitized using an expanded set of allowed HTML tags. At the time of profile display, the sanitization is too broad - because of the way the legacy logic worked, the expanded set of HTML tags is ignored in this case. See #5742, #5625.

I'll put a fix in place.

In 12361:

XProfile: When displaying field data, sanitize HTML properly for richtext.

Previously, kses display filters were not always provided with enough
information to determine whether the current field supports rich text,
and thus ought to be filtered against an extended HTML tag whitelist.

Fixes #8063.

@boonebgorges I tested with the new changes

bp-xprofile-filters.php

But still loses list formatting on save.

In 12396:

Ensure that xprofile field value HTML whitelist is applied during profile edit.

See #8063, #8094.

Hi @neilgee - When reporting issues, please provide as much detail as possible about exactly what you see and what you expect to see - your comment doesn't give enough context for me to be sure which bit of content you're talking about.

In conjunction with #8094, I noticed that the fix in [12361] doesn't account for *edit* mode (perhaps this is what you're seeing @neilgee ?). [12396] should fix this.
