    Hi Kim,
    Thank you for the reply.
    You don’t need to use the default BuddyPress registration form. Do you have any other plugin active that might affect registration/Login or security?

    Can you please link us to your site? We would like to check if there is something else that is ausing the issue.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Alex,
    Thank you for your question.

    As I have mentioned earlier, we are unable to assist you with using Tiny Mce 7. This is related to WordPress core. Unless the update is available in core, it is a lot of work to achieve a proper integration.

    Still, for the sake of discussion, I will try to explain your issues:-
    The problem you are facing has 3 dimensions.

    1. Interface where you want to use Tiny MCE 7
    2. saving to database(Kses are used here and unless you allow some tags explicitly via code, BuddyPress will filter out all of them).

    3. Display:- again kses are used to sanitize the output(and even esc_html after that).

    Your second issue is related to input/output sanitization.

    My suggestion is using Tiny MCE 4 which is included with WordPress. It is safe to use. The bug that you had reported in an earlier thread does not apply to it(since the content is sanitized server side too).

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Kim,
    Thank you for the post.

    1. Please use User Switching plugin to switch as user and update their preference.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/user-switching/

    2. These are not our settings. These are the profile field data visibility settings. You can control it from Dashboard->Users->Profile Fields. You can allow users to change visibility by editing individual fields in the backend(and selecting the option to allow user change visibility).

    Hope that helps.

    Regards
    Brajesh

    Hi Kim,
    Thank you for the question.
    At the moment, there is no existing solution for this. You may use user switching plugin to switch as the user and assist them.

    Hi Alex,
    Thank you for the question. Changing a core file of any plugin is bad as It will be overwritten in their next update.

    I have replied to your other post with suggestion and some question to assist you further.

    Please take a look.

    Regards

    Hi Alex,
    Thank you for the reply.

    Changing core BuddyPress file is a bad idea.

    Where did you put the code I had supplied? It should go it bp-custom.php(wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php)

    Regards
