HTML entities in Custom fields don't save

    Hallo,

    first of all, thank you for an awesome plugin.

    I use version 2.1.
    I have a custom field set via Types for a Post.
    This custom field is textarea.
    When I enter some value
    (for example, <p>AAA BBB</p>)
    and save it (Publish or Update a post),
    after reloading I see only <p>AAA BBB</p> in the field.
    So if I save it another time, my HTML entity will disappear.
    I’m speaking about admin area.

    How can I solve this problem?
    Any filter for escaping / unescaping?

    Thank you in advance

    It should not happen.

    Make sure in Toolset > Settings > Custom content you have set the users to be allowed to use HTML tags.

    I use the Text Field (Multiple lines) a lot myself and it works

    Perhaps you are on a MultiSite?
    There te permissions are out of our control.

    Hallo,

    thank you for a quick answer.
    It does preserve tags like <p> etc.
    But it does not preserve HTML entities like nbsp, mdash etc.

    I checked settings. Raw HTML (both) are set.
    But entities disappear. (((

    What do you mean with “Raw HTML (both) are set”?

    HTML works perfectly fine if used correctly.

    Example of Contnet in Mutliple Lines Field:

    this is   non breaking space<br>
this is &mdash;
this is &lsquo;

    ShortCode:
    [types field='multiple-lines'][/types]

    sorry, the non breaking space should be pre-followed by &nbsp;

    Hallo,

    thank you for your reply.

    Frankly speaking, it does not resolve the problem.
    For example, I enter in Custom field (on the admin page) the text
    (I put underscores here only for visibility so that entites won’t disappear)

    <p>AAA &_amp_;&_nbsp_; BBB</p>

    I save the post. After reloading the page, I see

    <p>AAA &_nbsp_; BBB</p>

    If I save the post one more time. I see

    <p>AAA BBB</p>

    I hope my idea is clear.
    So I think some filter (escaping / unescaping) should be used
    as it’s used in the_content area.

    Sorry again, if smth is not clear.

    Please add a Support Request here.
    It’s free, after you subscribe (also free) here.

    This is becuase, as you can see, the HMTL works fine for us.

    So it must be either a misunderstansing, which will be solved by getting acces to your site, or it’s a issue with your install.
