WYSIWYG editor for profile editor in WP eMember

[markbeasley]

I am using the WP eMember Member Profile Extended and the Form Builder. Members should be able to use such formatting as italics, superscript, line breaks, and bullet lists when editing their profiles.

I have tried using html code, and also copy/pasting formatted text directly from Word doc.

None of the special formatting is saved when the profile is updated, and carriage returns are ignored.

It seems no markup is allowed.

What can I do about this?

Thanks,

Mark

It seems no markup is allowed.

That is correct. The profile information is stored in the database, as plain text.

Is there no way to modify this? Being able to use WordPress built-in WYSIWIG editor would be a great addition.

It would require a “substantial” modification to the way text strings are handled, throughout the plugin. Every instance of string handling would have to be desensitized, so that markups do not affect string handling operations. On top of that, plugin security would be affected. We currently filter ALL inputs to prevent injection attacks. By allowing markups, we’d have to spend a rather substantial amount of development time, to ensure we did not inadvertently increase the chances of injection attacks.

Is there no way to modify this?
