Hi PresPhuture,
Thank you for posting.
Yes, it is possible to control which category/tags are shown

/**
 * Filter the BuddyBlog form settings and limit category/tag inclusion.
 *
 * @param array $settings settings array.
 *
 * @return array
 */
function buddydev_filter_buddyblog_form_settings( $settings ) {

	$tax                        = isset( $settings['tax'] ) ? $settings['tax'] : array();
	$tax['category']['include'] = array( 1, 2, 3 );// category ids to include.
	$tax['post_tag']['include'] = array( 5, 7, 9 );// tag ids to include.

	$settings['tax'] = $tax;

	return $settings;
}

add_filter( 'buddyblog_post_form_settings', 'buddydev_filter_buddyblog_form_settings' );

Please change the ids with your own. It will only list the category tags with those ids. I hope you can modify it form there on.

Hope that helps.

Hi Ekiz,
I see the problem. You are using ordered list while the code I posted allowed unordered list. I have updated the code to allow ordered list too now

/**
 * Add remove filters to allow more tags.
 */
function buddydev_add_remove_group_desc_filters() {
	remove_filter( 'groups_group_description_before_save', 'wp_filter_kses', 1 );
	add_filter( 'groups_group_description_before_save', 'bp_groups_filter_kses', 1 );
}

add_action( 'bp_loaded', 'buddydev_add_remove_group_desc_filters');

/**
 * Allow extra tags in group description.
 *
 * @param $tags
 *
 * @return mixed
 */
function buddydev_allow_extra_group_desc_tags( $tags ) {
    $tags['ul'] = array();
    $tags['ol'] = array();
    $tags['li'] = array();
    $tags['strong'] = array();
    $tags['b'] = array();
    return $tags;
}
add_filter( 'bp_groups_filter_kses', 'buddydev_allow_extra_group_desc_tags' );

Hi Graham,
Ravi has used Nowdoc style string which is very sensitive to the use of spaces/newlines etc. That’s why I wanted to see a copy.

You don’t need to have an account to post on pastebin(It asks to fill a captcha)

When you are back, Please do provide me access to it somehow if not using pastebin.

Thank you
Brajesh
