Hi,

I have set up some front-end forms with toolset forms, which can be used and edited by registered users.
In a description field (textarea) the users use the classic editor (see pic)...
In Toolset form settings under "content filter" I have ALLOWED a href tag (user are allowed to set in links).
However when users put in a link either directly in text editor with html or in visual editor with use of link tool button,
then the FULL textarea (all content of description field) is not displayed/disappears when viewing the page /post after update.
So it seems for me that putting in links, even if I have allowed it and the editor has button for inserting links, gives an error.

How can I avoid this error. And if I can not avoid error, how do I disable the "inserting link" button in the toolbar in the editor?

Thanks,
Anders

Hello,

The problem you mentioned above is abnormal, please check these:
1) Make sure you are using the latest version of Toolset plugins, you can download them here:
https://toolset.com/account/downloads/

2) In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate all other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2020, deactivate all custom PHP/JS code, and test again

3) Also check if there is any PHP/JS error in your website:

4) If the problem still persists, please provide database dump file(ZIP file) of your website, also point out the problem page URL and form URL, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks
