Hey Guys,

It appears that basic HTML works in the description fiend of the Groups.. but IMG SRC doesnt.. I would love to have this ability.. suggestions?

Hi @localfrs –

The theme doesn’t currently support <img> tags in the group description, probably because it already lets you create an image for the group  (aka its “avatar”), which it places in the upper right corner.  If you really want this, you’d probably need to do some child theme customizations.

Hi @scottvoth –

… or is it an issue with using extended_kses or unfiltered_html ?

i dont see a reason why any arbitrary html tag cant be used?

Hi @localfrs –

Probably a question the dev team might be better at answering.

@bowe / @haystack – can you provide some background about why these tags are stripped out, and maybe a possible workaround?  Thanks.

BuddyPress Groups Extras supports this:

Edit pages data in Group Admin area using WP RichEditor (with embedding content that WordPress supports!)

Cheers, Christian

Edit: on closer inspection, the Visual Editor may not be applied to the Group Description… Sorry. A search turns up this technique, this tutorial and a paid-for plugin, however.
