When members on my site are pasting text into a post, it’s showing up as a bunch of code with HTML tags. If I paste the same text as an admin, it shows up fine. I’d like it to either work for them like it works for me, or to at least strip out the tags and show plain text. Help? Thanks.

For example, they paste text that shows up like this:

<div class=”section-block” style=”margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background: #fbfbfb; color: #222222; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif;”>
<h2 style=”margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 20px; vertical-align: middle; background: transparent; color: #000000;”>Getting Started</h2>
<p style=”margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;”>New to BuddyPress?

</div>
<div class=”section-block” style=”margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 13px; vertical-align: baseline; background: #fbfbfb; color: #222222; font-family: ‘Open Sans’, sans-serif;”>
<h2 style=”margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 20px; vertical-align: middle; background: transparent; color: #000000;”>BuddyPress Features</h2>
</div>

And I paste it and it shows up as normal text (with proper styling/formatting):

I’ve tried the troubleshooting recommendations (all other plugins off, default theme), as well things like enabling the visual editor and bbp_tinymce_paste_plain_text — still no good.

Anyone? Any direction on what’s causing this/how to fix it? Please and thanks.

I figured it out. But this forum won’t let me paste my message.

I tried adding User Role Editor and granting unfiltered html rights — no help.

I tried adding a filter to allow HTML tags (like mentioned in a few different posts, like here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-html-from-users/) — didn’t work (but that could’ve been my customizations).

AH!! Finally! Got it to work with the solution as referenced in the first post here https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/allow-html-tags-in-post-for-all-users/).
