 * If your live site is already broken, try to downgrade to 4.2.2 by downloading
   4.2.2 sources and copy them to your installation directory. Before better make
   a backup. If that solves your problem, just wait for the bugfix to arrive. If
   that does not solve the problem try my hotfix from above. Open “wp-includes/kses.
   php” with a editor and add the above lines to kses.php line 241 between the following
   two lines:
 *     ```
       ),
         'ins' => array(
       ```

 * [@denl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/denl/): A possible hotfix for you
   would be to add the following lines of code to kses.php e.g. at line 241:
 *     ```
       'input' => array(
             'id' => true,
             'name' => true,
             'type' => false,
             'class' => true,
             'value' => true,
           ),
       ```
   
 * But I would not recommend doing this. This adds the ‘input’ element to the list
   of $allowedposttags. It will work afterwords, but I have not checked, what impacts
   it also may have. A better solution for you would be, to stay with or upgrade
   to 4.2.2 and wait for a proper fix of this.

 * Your problem is also caused by the same code changes, which disallows using short
   codes in input elements. Let’s hope someone can help us.
