 * Since upagrading to wp 2.0 when I go to edit or add a category description it
   scripts the html. I had them before I updated and they were fine. Any ideas on
   a fix or a plugin so I can add html?
 * Example page:

 * Did you find a solution to this? I want to include images in my category descriptions
   but it strips my html, too. Any advice would be appreciated 🙂

 * Ok, I found the solution. In wp-includes/default-filters.php find and comment
   out:
    add_filter(‘pre_category_description’, ‘wp_filter_kses’);

 * Don’t you just love little “features” like this that creep up on you unaware…
   it’s not like anyone is going to tell me my links in the category descriptions
   have suddenly been neutered. Grr 🙂
