* Greetings,
* Hoping some one might be able to help, in the about section it’s sanitizing the
html to the point that a links don’t work anyone know a fix or work around on
this, I’ve removed the call back but it’s still sanitizing the HTML on the front
end of the site.

* Welp nvm figured it out, for any one else wants to know:
* You need to edit the /inc/customizer/options/customize-footer.php and remove
the sanitize call back for the about description
as well you need to edit the
footer.php and delete out the wp_filter_post_kses right after echo for the about
desc.
