# comments / kses.php bug?

 * Something is wrong with tag parsing on my site and I suspect it has something
   to do with kses.php.
    The following is being shown where people can enter comments:(
   I hope this displays properly) `Line and paragraph breaks automatic, website 
   trumps email, HTML allowed: <b> <i> **  _Array=_""> Array=""> _ <strike> Array
   =_"" _Array=_"" _Array=_""> <blockquote _Array=_""> <del _Array=_""> <br> I have
   tried the Jan 7 and 9 nightlys in hoping they fix it, but there is a bug in the
   Jan 5 kses.php so I am at a loss. You can view the symptoms by viewing comments
   on any post at my site: [http://www.seriocomic.com/](http://www.seriocomic.com/)

 * Sourceforge seems to be unavailable at the moment, but as I recall there was 
   another file that needed updating. Could it be `functions`, or `vars?`
    I’ll 
   let you know if I find out. I’m using the Jan 9 nightly mysefl, so I don’t think
   there’s a bug.

 * Looks like it was `template-functions.php`. Not sure if any other file was updated
   as well.

 * Thanks Lars, it was the ‘allowed_tags’ function in `template-functions.php` that
   was buggy.
    I used a great program called [Beyond Compare](http://www.scootersoftware.com/)
   that showed me exactly what differences there were in my code and the nightly.
