Filter: bricks/allowed_html_tags

Starting at version 1.10.2 Bricks restricts the allowed HTML tags to the WordPress core logic for wp_kses_allowed_html( 'post' ).

This results in the following HTML tags being allowed out-of-the-box:

address, a, abbr, acronym, area, article, aside, audio, b, bdo, big, blockquote, br, button, caption, cite, code, col, colgroup, del, dd, dfn, details, div, dl, dt, em, fieldset, figure, figcaption, font, footer, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, header, hgroup, hr, i, img, ins, kbd, label, legend, li, main, map, mark, menu, nav, object, p, pre, q, rb, rp, rt, rtc, ruby, s, samp, span, section, small, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, textarea, tfoot, th, thead, title, tr, track, tt, u, ul, ol, var, video

For example, setting the “Custom tag” on a “Block” element to form is not allowed by default, and will throw the following error in the builder:

Using the new filter as shown in the code snippet below, the form tag is added to the list of allowed HTML tags and can be used without throwing any errors.

add_filter( 'bricks/allowed_html_tags', function( $allowed_html_tags ) {
    // Define the additional tags to be added (e.g. 'form' & 'select')
    $additional_tags = ['form', 'select'];


    // Merge additional tags with the existing allowed tags
    return array_merge( $allowed_html_tags, $additional_tags );
} );
