Embeds stripped from testimonials

    When a YouTube video link is entered into a post, it shows up on the front end as that video embedded in the content, but not in testimonials. This is due to the use of wp_kses_post() on the testimonial contents, which doesn’t allow iframe elements.

    Unfortunately, there’s no way to override the allowed HTML before the call to wp_kses_post(), so the only way to get around this is with the wp_kses_allowed_html filter, which applies to all posts.

    Plugin developer(s), please allow video embedding in testimonials, because this creates a richer experience on the site, or at least let site developers choose what to allow via a special filter that only applies to testimonials or a plugin setting.

    The allowed HTML also doesn’t contain the type attribute of scripts, which causes ld+json to be stripped from the plugin’s Schema Review markup. Besides fixing this, adding a filter for allowed HTML can help work around this.
