WP Adding Quotes even with Magic Quotes Off

tschoch 17 Oct, 2016

Hello,

We are creating a form with some custom PHP code. When we save the code, slashes are being automatically added to the code to escape the quotes. We have verified that Magic Quotes is off in all 3 places (sybase, gpc, runtime). We have also noticed the slashes are being added to any "field notes" where there is an apostrophe as well. We have never seen this issue in the Joomla version.

Thanks,

Hi tschoch
,
Evidently magic quotes are still being applied somewhere as CF doesn't add them. Joomla! deprecated magic quotes a while, I don't think that WordPress has. I suggest that you dig around a bit more and see if you can identify the source - if not then maybe adding custom code to clean the data will be the answer :-(

I figured out the issue. Once I turned off safe save in Chrono's settings it stopped adding the slashes...

I'm not sure why this CF setting would be adding slashes but either way that fixed the issue.

Thanks,

Hi tschoch,

Well done - I hadn't thought of that as a possibility.
