This affects multi-site installations where unfiltered_html is disabled for administrators, and sites where unfiltered_html is disabled.

Affected WordPress components

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.

  • content_staging_project content_staging — Up to and including 2.0.1
