  Can WP.com change the default wp_kses() allowed html to enable use of <style>elements in post/page content.

  I am using WP.com to teach kids to maintain a blog but also to teach them a little HTML/CSS. I would like to be able for them to apply simple CSS styling to their post to apply the lessons they learn in a real online environment.

  currently style attributes work within a given element using the classical editor. However, a <style> elements are stripped out when the post is saved.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, the reason the inline styles are being stripped out is because in order to add CSS to a WPcom site’s theme, it would require upgrading the site to the Premium plan or higher. https://wordpress.com/support/custom-design/custom-css/

  If you want to share CSS code, you can do that by adding it with the SyntaxHighlighter https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/syntax-highlighter-code-block/
