The PHP code widget expects the user using it to have the “unfiltered_html” capability. If they don’t have that, then it will run the input through kses, filtering any code that kses doesn’t like. This is for security purposes.

So, make sure the users using it have that capability, and that you trust them. It’s probably not a good widget to use if you have untrusted users blogging on your MU site.

Otto,

Thanks for reporting on this and for writing your PHP Code Execution plugin.

I thought that it would be just the thing for my install, as I need to execute some PHP code in the sidebar widgets for my blogroll (I’m using blogrolling.com) but I think it isn’t going to work properly in my site. I using WordPress MU with domain mapping and multi-site manager.

I successfully installed the plugin, activated it, went to the design>>widgets area, added a widget, droppred in the code, but when I saved it, all the PHP code got stripped out.

I’ll happily buy you a beer, if you can tell me how to fix this.

Cheers,
Carl
