HTML tags are showing on custom template

Hello @raesitka

Do you still have HTML tags when you disable or rename a custom template? If you have not tried it, I suggest you try it and see if you still have issues when the custom template is disabled so that its easier to find a solution.

Hi Aswin,

I changed the profile template to the default one and the HTML tags did not show – so I’m not sure what I’m missing in the template so they don’t show.

Here is the code in the template: https://ibb.co/tc05sNW
Here is how it is appearing on the front end: https://ibb.co/GdJmgBy

Thank you.

Anyone have any ideas?

@raesitka

You can try to remove the esc_attr() and keep echo $members_directory_bio;

@missveronicatv
Great – thank you!
That worked.

@raesitka

You can try to use echo wp_kses_post( $members_directory_bio );.

The wp_kses_post function sanitize the bio content and will keep the HTML tags allowed for WP post content.
