# A “/” Problem!

 * Hey everyone. I remember there being a way to fix that error that WordPress had
   a few months back where it added a bunch of “/”s wherever a quotation or something
   was. Is there a plugin, or an easy fix in wp-hacks.php to be able to fix this
   issue?
    Thanks so much.

   There was a fix, I can remember that. I just don’t remember the fix, and my searches
   have been futile.

 * Yeah, charle is right, just wrap the comments in a `stripslashes()` function 
   and it should solve that.

 * How do you do that? I need to know how to do it, I’m not that great with PHP.

 * K, this is really hacky and probably not the best way of doing it, but it should
   work…
    Open up `wp-includes/template-functions-comment.php` and goto line 176`
   echo apply_filters('comment_text', $comment_text);` and change it to: `echo stripslashes(
   apply_filters('comment_text', $comment_text));` That ought to do the trick.
