Creative commons code stripped in sidebar

    Hi,

    I have included the creative commons license code in a text widget on my sidebar and I see that the code within de <span> tags (e.g. <span xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" property="dc:title">) is stripped and only the <span> itself is left.

    Is there a workaround for this?

    Thanks,

    Pablo

    can you show the exact code? put backticks (key next to no. 1) around them so it will show in your post, like this.

    your code here

    Sorry I was going to post mine as well but I wanted to see first if the box thingy worked

    This is my code:

    ‘<img alt=”Creative Commons License” style=”border-width:0″ src=”http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc-nd/2.5/au/88×31.png”/><br/><span xmlns:dc=”http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/” href=”http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Text” property=”dc:title” rel=”dc:type”>Catchy, Cheesy, Cytokines.</span> by pKay is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5 Australia License.<br/>Based on a work at pkayski.wordpress.com.<br/>Permissions beyond the scope of this license may be available at http://pkayski.wordpress.com/.’

    And I am unable to place it on my text widget like pmelchor said, so maybe we have a similar problem?

    I think the namespaced attributes don’t play nice with WP.com’s filtering.

    Remove the span-tags completely and strip attributes containg a colon ( : ) like rel=”dc:source” from the other tags.

    I still can’t seem to be able to get it :S…

    I tried obtaining code of a more smaller code (doesn’t include my name, website or stuff) and this is what I got:

    <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/au/"><img alt="Creative Commons License" style="border-width:0" src="http://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-nc-nd/2.5/au/88x31.png"/></a><br/>This work is licensed under a <a rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/au/">Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 2.5 Australia License</a>.

    But even when I put this smaller code in, same problems still occur (I.e. can’t see image on blog…. Do I need to host the image or something?…. and there are no span-tags on this one either.. :S

    Hi,

    I have no issues with the image and text, but I wanted to keep the atributes deltafoxtrot describes above since they are the “machine readable” version of the Creative Commons license. For example:
    <span xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" property="dc:title">
    Is there a way to prevent WP.com’s filtering?

    Thanks.
