FAQ
Yes, this can be done using the svg_allowed_attributes and svg_allowed_tags filters.
They take one argument that must be returned. See below for examples:
add_filter( 'svg_allowed_attributes', function ( $attributes ) { // Do what you want here... // This should return an array so add your attributes to // to the $attributes array before returning it. E.G. $attributes[] = 'target'; // This would allow the target="" attribute. return $attributes; } ); add_filter( 'svg_allowed_tags', function ( $tags ) { // Do what you want here... // This should return an array so add your tags to // to the $tags array before returning it. E.G. $tags[] = 'use'; // This would allow the <use> element. return $tags; } ); Contributors and developers
