Multisite: Cannot give unfiltered_html to administrator

[dyordan1]

I need to have all administrators (regular, not network admins) on a network be able to add unfiltered html and I found an interesting bug (or feature if there's a reason to disallow to anyone but network admin?). I might be missing something but the code below seems contradictory. (Logged in as admin while running the code)

$theAdmin = get_role('administrator');
$theAdmin->add_cap('unfiltered_html');

global $current_user;

var_dump($current_user->has_cap('unfiltered_html')); //bool(false)
var_dump($current_user->allcaps['unfiltered_html']); //bool(true)

There's a plugin for that: ​http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/unfiltered-mu/

That plugin has not been updated in a while and I don't believe in installing a plugin for a single line of code I need. I also know about the oEmbed functionality of wordpress but that's not what I'm looking for either. My purpose is to give admins unfiltered_html period and that doesn't seem to be working. I looked at the code of has_cap but couldn't figure out what was going wrong so I submitted it here.

This is not a support forum. We have ​an actual support forum for that.

This is unfortunate. The fact that is hasn't been updated in two years does not mean it doesn't work anymore. Especially having the authors that it has.

Unfiltered html for roles other than the super admin will (most likely) never happen, for the reasons outlined in the plugin description: "Any user could add Javascript code to steal the login cookies of any visitor who runs a blog on the same site. The rogue user can then inpersonate any of those users and wreak havoc." Just recently we had another prove of that in r21774.

has_cap is a core function. Look at the code I posted and if you tell me it really is a support question I'll leave this closed and move along.

I am not asking to see it in core, I am trying to do it on one customized theme which will be used on one network with full control over who gets administrator roles.
