wp_filter_kses() WordPress Function
The wp_filter_kses() function is a WordPress function that strips unsafe or unwanted content from a string. This function is typically used to filter content before it is saved to the database, or displayed to the user.
wp_filter_kses( string $data ) #
Sanitize content with allowed HTML KSES rules.
Description
This function expects slashed data.
Parameters
- $data
(string)(Required)Content to filter, expected to be escaped with slashes.
Return
(string) Filtered content.
More Information
wp_filter_kses should generally be preferred over wp_kses_data because wp_magic_quotes escapes $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER, and $_REQUEST fairly early in the hook system, shortly after ‘plugins_loaded’ but earlier then ‘init’ or ‘wp_loaded’.
