Network users unable to embed objects / scripts into editor

[firmdot]

WordPress 3.0 with Network enabled, blog users (even with administrative privileges - but not Network Administrators) are unable to paste/embed objects into the Editor (even with HTML tab selected).

To re-create the problem - login into WordPress with any user privileges other than Network Administrator, create a new Post in HTML mode, then Publish it. Then Edit the post and paste object code such as flash from YouTube. Click Update. Upon saving/updating the code will be removed from the editor window.

Users with Network Administrator privileges are able to embed objects.

Only super admins are given the ability to use unfiltered HTML.

​This explanation says why the capability is dangerous. Note that it only applies to multisite.

There is a plugin, ​http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unfiltered-mu/. I just reported a typo in it to Donncha yesterday, and he replied that it might not work with 3.0. But nonetheless, that's the solution.

Note that it only applies to multisite.

Should instead say -- Note that the explanation does not mention the difference in how multisite works, in that only super admins get it there.

It doesn't work with 3.0

The development version of unfiltered_mu should now work with WordPress 3.0. It uses the map_meta_cap filter to add the capability back in.
