09 Jan 06 Bruce Kroeze Is AMAZING!

I would like to extend my deepest of thanks to Bruce Kroeze, who managed to debug an error which WordPress 2.0 shipped with, in which DIV and IMG tags (as well as a plethora of other tags) had their data automatically stripped from them. This caused, for example, my Del.Icio.Us posts to look rather funky.

Read more about Bruce’s solution here if you’re suffering through the same problem.

The WordPress Support forums were (originally) of absolutely no help. Things seemed to get moving, however, when I filed a bug with the WordPress bug tracking system.

Gawd bless ya, Bruce. Thank you!

EDIT: I received an e-mail from a member of the WordPress development team who tells me that the bug will almost certainly be fixed in 2.0.1, but that messing with core files can be a tad iffish. I suggest that if you do, be sure to backup, and to restore the original before any upgrade. However, he says that this here is the root of the problem:

If you have the unfiltered_html capability (editor or administrator role) KSES should not be filtering your posts. When you post via the web interface this works properly but the XMLRPC interface has this bug where KSES is initialized without regard to the username and password in the XMLRPC post data.
