 * Is there a way to remove kses filter via plugin, without hacking code?
 * I tryed
    remove_filter(‘content_save_pre’, ‘wp_filter_post_kses’);
 * But it’s not working, and wp_filter_post_kses is still called
 * I also tryed to use
 * add_action(‘init’,’kses_remove_filters’);
 * But nothing happened.
 * I need to extend allowed protocols, but the call at wp_kses (inside wp_filter_post_kses)
   use the original array ($allowed_protocols) that is not global, so to do that
   I was tryng to override the original call.
 * Also a way to extend $allowed_protocols is a solution for me..
 * Thanks!

 * Try using [htmLawed](http://bioinformatics.org/phplabware/internal_utilities/htmLawed),
   a highly modified version of the kses filter with many extra features.

 * remove_filter would work, if you called it in the right place. kses is not turned
   on until the init filter.
 * Anyway, this should work. The key is to delay it until after the init action 
   hook enables kses.
 *     ```
       function disable_kses_content() {
       remove_filter('content_save_pre', 'wp_filter_post_kses');
       }
       add_action('init','disable_kses_content',20);
       ```
