Backslash appears before apostrophe
-
Hello,
I’m in the process of setting up your forum and have ran into a weird problem.
Under forum description in the forum settings, my chosen name has an apostrophe in it. Like John’s forum for example. But for whatever reason, on the actual forum, it shows John\’s Forum.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix it?
Thank you,
-Chris

Hi @chrispnw,
Thank you for letting us know. The issue will be fixed in the next version release.
If you need to solve the issue asap, please follow the steps below.
1. Open the wpf-actions.php file in the wp-content/plugins/wpforo/wpf-includes/ folder
2. Find the following two lines (441, 442):
'title' => sanitize_text_field( $_POST['wpforo_general_options']['title'] ), 'description' => sanitize_text_field( $_POST['wpforo_general_options']['description'] ),3. Replace with the following one:
'title' => sanitize_text_field( stripslashes($_POST['wpforo_general_options']['title']) ), 'description' => sanitize_text_field( stripslashes($_POST['wpforo_general_options']['description']) ),4. Navigate to Dashboard > Settings > General admin page and just click on the “Update Options” button
