 * Hello,
 * I’m using your Pricing Table by Supsystic plugin and I’m experiencing an issue.
 * **Issue encountered:**
    - Backslashes () automatically appear before apostrophes (‘) in my pricing table
      content
    - Example: “en cours d’élaboration” becomes “en cours d\’élaboration”
    - This happens systematically every time I save
    - Even if I manually remove the backslashes, they come back as soon as I save
 * WordPress Version : 6.8.2
   Plugin Version : 1.10.01
 * How can I fix this ?
   Thank you for your help.

 * I can confirm this is an issue. Any timeline for a fix or should we start looking
   for a replacement?

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for reporting this issue. We’re aware of this problem with certain languages—
   WordPress’s built-in kses method treats those apostrophes as potentially harmful,
   so it automatically adds escaping backslashes when you save.
 * Unfortunately, we don’t have a quick fix for this at the moment. However, I’ve
   escalated this to our development team so they can take another look at possible
   solutions.
 * We appreciate your patience, and we’ll keep you updated if we find a workaround.
