Editing reply containing HTML gets escaped.

[jaredatch]

To reproduce:

Post a reply with HTML, eg <a href="​http://bbpress.org">bbpress.org</a> (this can be done using the Visual Editor or HTML mode, does not matter).

Edit reply, this will be the contents in TinyMCE:

<a href="http://bbpress.org" rel="nofollow">bbPress.org</a>.

It is normal to see such thing in visual editor, but in HTML editor is must be a problem...
The community now is working on the 2.1 version, so please try the latest 2.1 version and see if the problem still occurs.

This *should* be exactly the way that wp_editor works everywhere else.

If you paste

<a href="http://bbpress.org">bbpress.org</a>

into the visual editor, and switch to HTML, it encodes them automatically. Switch back to the visual editor, and it looks normal. Save and view. It should look normally formatted.

Now paste that exact thing into the HTML editor, and switch to visual. Nothing is encoded, as raw HTML is assumed.

When you paste HTML into the visual editor, it doesn't try to turn it into real HTML. Instead it assumes you wanted your brackets and quotes made pretty. When you paste HTML into the HTML editor, it assumes you wanted it to be HTML and interprets it as such.

It's possible we have some filters out of order somewhere, so it's worth looking at again to make sure. Best I can tell, it's working exactly as expected.

I was able to duplicate this on two separate installs.

One running 2.1 nightly on 3.3.x and another with 2.1 nightly and 3.4 nightly. The second one had no plugins activated other than bbP and just using stock 2011.

found the bug!
in the return of the function "function bbp_get_form_topic_content()"

Function Reference esc_textarea() must be removed.

jaredatch feel free to add a patch here :D

1770.patch​ decodes the html entities specifically for wp_editor, leaving it escaped properly elsewhere.

Decode

[johnjamesjacoby]

(In [3797]) Decode $post_content for wp_editor in bbp_get_the_content(). Fixes #1770. Props alexvorn2, props jaredatch.
