v1.5.5 added some security guards.
A temporary fix for this is:
Copy:
Code:
/ADMIN_FOLDER/includes/init_includes/init_sanitize.php
To:
Code:
/ADMIN_FOLDER/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_sanitize.php
On or around line: 216
Find:
Code:
$group = array('products_description', 'coupon_desc', 'file_contents', 'categories_description', 'message_html', 'banners_html_text', 'pages_html_text', 'comments');
Change to:
Code:
$group = array('products_description', 'coupon_desc', 'file_contents', 'categories_description', 'message_html', 'banners_html_text', 'pages_html_text', 'comments', 'col_html_text');

but if I edit and update it in admin the html breaks and is rendered in phpmyadmin, col_html_text, as
Get <font color="red">5% off</font><br />
your <u>first purchase</u><br />
at my <i>demo site</i>!
