That did it. Thank you so much, esmi!

Could you tell me what exactly that did?

That’s text that I have yet to come up with.

Perhaps this would be clearer, and more grammatically correct:

[insert earliest-post tagline]

So basic conclusion is to roll my own function?

New idea here, I figure I’ll just post this as I go along and if other people chime in, _great_!

Anyway, the main problem I’ve encountered all along is that my hosting services database host is different than localhost. I’ve never had an idea about how to get around this, but just now I had a thought that I could use my hosts file to ‘spoof’ the db host that they use for my local installs. So, if my hosting services db host is xxx.yyyy.zzz, then I set up an entry in hosts as such

127.0.0.1 xxx.yyyy.zzz

Should that effectively allow anything that my machine try’s to access at that name first redirect locally and get caught by my local instance of mysql?

Just a thought, I’m gonna keep working on it but if someone else wants to confirm it, that’d be _awesome_.

Thanks in advance!

Anybody have any ideas here? This has to be something that people have done before, I’m sure its even been documented, I just am having trouble finding it. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response, Otto!

Interesting that this isn’t new. It does appear to be from 2.0. I wonder what was happening before.

Good to know that we have Plugins like the role editor that allow us to mess with this stuff. It’s a fairly decent default configuration, I just think that unfiltered should extend to authors as well.

Anyway, good to finally have this confirmed.

Good to hear that you don’t have everyone as an admin ^_^

It’s only me and my wife who are editors so I think we’re definitely close enough to kick each other’s butts if someone screws up.

I guess the struggle for me here is that there is nothing particularly ‘tricky’ about this html, it’s just standard inline css, nothing against it in the specs, even in XHTML 1.1 Strict. I do however see that it could protect you from an author or commenter ruining the LaF of the site, however, I would think that someone who is an author (not even the lower contributor level) should have that level of trustedness.

Could someone else who maybe knows a bit more about overall WP development confirm that this is the correct behavior for KSES? Ivovic, I’ve really appreciated your input but I guess I just want this confirmed. It just doesn’t feel right.

So far, everything is working again, and I’m actually comfortable with the two of us being at the editor level. However, if in the future more authors get added on (at that level), I think I’d like this to be resolved in some way.

Thanks again!

OK, this sounds promising! Thank you so much Ivovic.

Just went in as the admin and did some editing and things are saved fine. The accounts where this is not working are all at the ‘Author’ level.

The strang thing about all of this is that if you’ll look at my previous post, this was working fine prior to the upgrade to 2.5.1 for us. What could have changed?

Anyway, with this new tidbit of information, what’s the verdict on what I should try next? I’d rather not have everyone as an administrator for security reasons.

Thanks again for your response!

I just disabled kses and did some editing with WP and all of the tags and values were maintained correctly accross saves and previews etc.

I have since reenabled it because I’m not interested in getting hacked, but the question I have now is, what could have gone wrong with kses and how can I fix it?

If someone could please help me out, it would really be great. It’s a fairly simple question, I think.

All else fails, I guess I could reinstall WP…

Thanks in advance!
