A surprise with Joomla 2.5.2 , All HTML is filtered out of content items.
Go to Global Config - Text Filters. All filters have been reset to Blacklist. Trying to save a new setting does not work - Blacklist remains. Have tried this on two sites so far on different servers with same results.
I have noticed with IE & FF that if caching is on in Global config that the changes to the text filter are not recognised. But with other settings in Global config settings can be saved with cache on( conservative and progressive).
- With cache off, Alter a setting in Text filer and save ... Success
- Set cache on (conservative)
- Alter a setting in Text filer and save ... No Avail
- Alter settings in other tabs ( like site off line) and save ... Success
- Set cache off
- Ctrl+F5 (clear Browser cache for that page)
- Alter a setting in Text filer and save ... Success
Same with cache Progressive
Tested on Joomla 2.5.3,
Quick Version, turn off Joomla's cache and then the changes will stay. You can then put the cache back on.
