Allow specific HTML tags in CRED forms

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem

How can we control what HTML tags are allowed to be submitted with CRED Forms?

Solution

All HTML tags that you check in Toolset > Settings > Forms > Content Filter, will be allowed, all that are unchecked will be stripped, when the form is submitted.

There will be no error message to the user.
The content will simply be stripped by the unwanted tags.

I am trying to:
remove wysiwyg editor editor from cred form on frontend. I tried to change settings-> forms -> html tags. But wysiwyg editor is still visible. I want user to be able to submit only text and paragraphs. nothing else. I want form to remove all coding and all links what so ever.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
I expected to see:
the above post without visual editor
Instead, I got:
the above form with editor

Hi. What I changed is I added a text area - multiple lines and that did the work. Now each post does not show wordpress post description, but text area field that I added. I tested and it strips all html. I now only want to ensure from that all html tags are stripped in text multiple lines and no code or html is executed.

This is the correct approach when you use Toolset CRED.

The WYSIWYG as you see it will still strip all tags, but the GUI is provided by WordPress and still visible, therefore.

All HTML tags that you check in Toolset > Settings > Forms > Content Filter will be allowed, all that are unchecked will be stripped.
