Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

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.
