wp_kses breaks select images

ACF 5.10.0 added wp_kses which is stopping images from loading inside select fields. I used to be able to use the “Stylized UI” Select field with values like this:

announcement : <img src="https://web.com/announcement.img">
arrow : <img src="https://web.com/arrow.img">

But it echos out &lt instead of < and &gt instead of > around the image tag, which keeps it from rendering.

I’ve tried updating the wp_kses_allowed_html filter but nothing seems to make a difference.

Hey, thanks for the report!

We’re intended to release a patch next week that will allow safe HTML like this inside a select2 field.
