I've finally delved into the PHP for the IQ2 theme and see the following which I suspect is the cause of my problem:</p> <p><code>add_filter('pre_comment_content','wp_specialchars');</code></p> <p>As far as I can tell, this escapes all the HTML in comments. I would love the comments to be parsed using the same process as is used by my other blog (i.e. allowing all HTML that I have explicitly allowed via the list in the wp-includes/kses.php file). My assumption is that removing the add_filter line will cause this to happen but, being a PHP and WordPress newbie, I'm worried that I will be doing some damage elsewhere by doing this.</p> <p>Can anyone tell me why IQ2 adds this comment filtering and whether removing it is dangerous?</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Dave Wilson </p>
