    Hello! After updating to version (probably) 2.2.21 it is no longer possible to use html tags in “text” layout elements (e.g. images) because special html chars like “<>” are converted to their html entities. This issue occurs not during the first save process but when field data is loaded from the database in the wp backend -> so during the next save process the element is messed up.
    Btw. is there any other possibility to include images inside forms?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hello again, to fix the problem I removed line 13 of file includes/admin/edit-field/edit-field.php:
    $value = ninja_forms_esc_html_deep( $value );
    Maybe this could be a security issue…
    It would be great if you find a better solution, e.g. checking the $value variable for “allowed” html tags like <img>.
    Thank you very much!

    #edit:
    Just found that you already fixed the problem with version 2.2.25 – thank you!
