## Deskripsi

When you add text to the category description textarea and save the category, WordPress
runs content filters that strips out all but the most basic formatting tags.

This plugin disables those filters for roles with the necessary permissions. Any
html code you add to the category description will not be stripped out.

This plugin does not do anything other than disable the filters. It does not protect
you from entering invalid HTML, nor does it help you create WYSIWYG HTML. You can
use the post or page composing screen to help you create the text and formatting.
Switch to the ‘code’ tab and copy the HTML code into the category description field.

## Instalasi

 1. Upload `html-in-category-descriptions.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Paste or type HTML code in the category description and save (Refer to “The category
    description isn’t saving. Why?” in the FAQ if you’re having problems saving)
 4. Enjoy HTML in your category descriptions (Refer to “I see the HTML in the admin
    panel preview, but not on my website. Why?” in the FAQ if the HTML isn’t appearing
    on your website)

## Tanya Jawab

### The category description isn’t saving. Why?

 1. For security reasons, the role that you’re using to edit the description needs 
    to have the “unfiltered_html” capability
 2. In single site installations, Administrators and Editors has this capability by
    default; in a multisite installation, only Super Admins have this capability
 3. Refer to [WordPress Roles and Capabilities](https://wordpress.org/support/article/roles-and-capabilities/#unfiltered_html)

### I see the HTML in the admin panel preview, but not on my website. Why?

 1. For the HTML to show up on your website, the theme you’re using needs to output
    the category description
 2. Contact your theme developer and refer them to [WordPress Developer Documentation – category_description](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/category_description)

Work well with Wordpress 6, tested version 6.0.2 and no errors in the logs. Html
filters are perfectly disabled on the category description. For example, now the
addition of parameters and properties on the links are possible. < a href="./?order
=alpha" class="aa">Order< /a> —

I have had HTML in my product category descriptions for years. Every new Wordpress
release seems to break long-standing features, so I shouldn't have been surprised
when I edited a product category and found the HTML stripped out. I took a look 
at what this plugin does and thought it would probably fix the problem and, indeed,
it does. Thanks!

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for for 3 months. Thank you so much. Now
I can actually make my links LOOK like links on my category pages.
