    Long story short:
    1. If using the biography field. How can I prevent buddypress from stripping off html on these field? On user profile edit and view page.
    2. If using the rich multiline textarea field. How to use the tinymce 7 cloud version which currently conflicts with the old 4.9 implemented one.

    Tinymce 4.9 which WordPress and Buddypress uses has security issues. Maybe someone should tell the buddypress dev team for a solution on that??

    Ok, thanks to GPT I made it work for the multiline xprofile field as well.
    But again, I still have the problem that all lists were moved to one line after saving. See screenshots.

    Thanks Brajesh,
    I would not have such a problem if WordPress would use the latest tinymce one but instead integrates tinymce 4.9 which is very old.

    I am using the biography field already. This is currently the only solution to me using the cdn-tinymce version 7 – with the problem that it changes bullet lists to words line by line separated by an <br> on the profile view page. The edit page looks fine.

    Furthermore I only can use it on the biography field with this code:

    function antipole_remove_rich_text() {
    return false;
    }
    add_filter(‘bp_xprofile_is_richtext_enabled_for_field’, ‘antipole_remove_rich_text’);

    Another solution might be use it on the rich multiline textarea as you wrote.
    BUT with using the above code I am only able to integrate tinymce 7 cloud on the biography field and not on the multiline xfield.
    Without the code I cannot load it either on the bio nor on the multiline text field.

    Do you have a solution to make it running on the multiline-textarea field? I would need to get rid of the integrated one and then load the cloud one.

    Otherwise I only can prevent buddypress from changing the bullet lists on biography profile view page where I also have no idea how to.

    Alex on in reply to: Multiline texfield has no limitation for characters #52816

    I switched the value field from longtext to varchar at the xprofile data field in MySQL. Then it cuts off everything which is longer than the given limit no matter JS is switched on or not.

    Is this the way to go? I mean you are more into buddypress than me. If this change leads to other problems than plz tell me.

    Alex on in reply to: Multiline texfield has no limitation for characters #52815

    Maybe we have a misunderstanding.
    Have a look at this:
    https://ibb.co/SrCSz5k

    In the buddypress core there are code to put out a shorter version of tinymce with less items at the toolbar.
    Check class-bp-xprofile-field-type-textarea.php
    Anyway, I could also use the wordpress bio field which is a multiline textfield only without the editor.

    Meanwhile I found a solution for the tinymce editor which is javascript driven unfortunately. This means a user can switch it off, then has the normal textfield back and can write thousands of words and crash the layout.

    So let me ask again, is there any PHP solution for this texfield (multi-line text box or bio textfield) to limit the characters which beeing saved?

    Regards Alex

    Alex on in reply to: Question to the Buddypress Conditional logic Plugin #52327

    Sorry, to ask once more.
    No way to add some code wich is like “bypass submit for a field which is required and hidden”?

    I saw conditional logic like that at the register pages from Gravity forms which sync to Buddypress xfields but to get this plugin just for that feature is beyond my budget.
