Category Descriptions - HTML?

Question

Is it possible to allow HTML to be rendered in Category descriptions? My theme uses them quite a lot, and I'd like to style them better with images and links.

This seems to be do-able from what I read elsewhere, but I wondered if there is a best practice to get it to work (I'd prefer not to use a barely supported plugin).

Many thanks,

R

The HTML is stripped by wp_filter_kses(). So this should work:

remove_filter( 'pre_term_description', 'wp_filter_kses' );

When you want to print that content, use wpautop():

echo wpautop( term_description() );
