• Hello,

    When I (as an admin) use the RTE to center my text, everything works fine. In the HTML is <p style="text-align: center;"></p>, still after saving the post.
    When I’m logged in as a normal author and center the Text it says also …text-align: center… BUT after saving, there is only a <p style="center;"> left and the text is not centered anymore.

    How can I fix this problem?

    thanks!

  • I’ve noticed a similar problem. When an author saves a post the class is removed from images in the post. I have to keep going back in as admin and restoring the classes.

    Is this a bug, a wrong setting or a feature?
    Has anybody an idea for a solution?

    cheers

    this is by design – author-level users are subject to the kses filter which is designed to protect you from malicious code entered by people at a lower trust level.

    editors aren’t subject to it though, so you could consider bumping your authors to that level if it’s really important.

    Alternately, there are a number of bbcode-like plugins you can use, or text-replacement plugins which allow you to make your own [center][/center] tags amongst others.

    This preserves your security using kses filtration, but also allows you to extend your author’s capabilities with HTML that YOU control.

    Oddly, I wouldn’t make someone an author on my blog unless I had some basic trust that they wouldn’t enter malicious code. I prefer the filter of commonsense to that of kses.

    I’m inclined to agree, personally.

    I think this decision to apply kses to authors makes assumptions which do not follow common usage patterns.

    We should actually have the option to apply kses for roles up to: [dropdown box]

    Is this new to 2.5.1?
    Then everything worked fine before…
    And what is the sense of the RTE when it doesn’t work like that? 😉

    thx

    Experiencing the same issues as everyone else. Worked fine pre-upgrade, then everything broke. I made the two of us Editors (no reason not to, probably should have been before anyway) but I’m a little concerned that this hasn’t been resolved and it does indeed seem to be incorrect behavior.

    I opened up a new thread ( http://wordpress.org/support/topic/174614?replies=1 ) to try to get confirmation from someone higher up. If you want, you could all post there to maybe boost support for the help request.
