wp_kses_decode_entities() WordPress Function
The wp_kses_decode_entities() function is used to decode HTML entities in a string. This function is similar to the html_entity_decode() function in PHP, but it is specifically designed for use with the WordPress platform. This function is useful for ensuring that strings are properly decoded when they are passed through the WordPress security system.
