Textarea line breaks without rich text editor

Hi @seejlim,

Could you please check whether the following code helps?

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: [Forminator Pro] - Sanitize textarea field
 * Plugin URI: https://premium.wpmudev.org/
 * Description: Preserves new lines (\n) and other whitespace (as of 1.12.1.1)
 * Author: Alessandro Kaounas @ WPMUDEV
 * Author URI: https://premium.wpmudev.org/
 * Task: SLS-180
 * License: GPLv2 or later
*/

add_filter( 'forminator_field_text_sanitize', function( $data, $field, $original_data ){
    
    $data = $original_data;
    $editor_type   = Forminator_Field::get_property( 'editor-type', $field, false, 'bool' );
    
    // Sanitize
    if ( true === $editor_type ) {
        $data = wp_kses_post( $data );
    } else {
        $data = forminator_sanitize_textarea( $data );
    }

    return $data;

}, 10, 3);

You can add the above code as mu-plugins. Please check this link on how to implement the above code as a mu-plugins:

Kind Regards,

I think this should be a default behaviour in future versions (without need for muplugin)

Hi @mrbleuu

I hope you are doing well.

I can see we do have plans to extend it as a native function, however, we don’t have an estimated time yet.

Best Regards
