I attended my first ever PHP conference yesterday, PHP South Coast. I must say, I had a great time, not only were people very welcoming, but the talks were also extremely good. The talks I attended are as follows: Keynote: Cal Evans Parallel PHP: Joe Watkins The Art of Programming: Erika Heidi Teaming up Backbone.js and the new WordPress API: Jeroen van Dijk API Pain Points: Phil Sturgeon...
So my plugin Safe SVG has just been accepted into the WordPress plugin directory. Whilst mainly a proof of concept, I’m hoping that this plugin will help convince the core team that SVGs, with the right sanitization should become part of core. My major argument for allowing SVGs in core with sanitization is that there are currently 128 other SVG upload plugins in the plugin directory...
After a lot of testing of svg-sanitizer I’ve finally decided to make a WordPress plugin for it. This is more of a PoC to show that it can be done.
Once installed, the plugin will hook into the uploads and automatically sanitize any SVGs that you upload.
I’ll update this post when it’s on the WordPress directory but for now, here’s the download:
