 * Hello-
 * I love this ACF Add On and have been using it for a while but am noticing an 
   issue on a new client site I am building. When dropping in some standard pixel
   tracking code (which is what I routinely use this field for on client sites) 
   it seems to be re-writing/re-formatting the code. It looks like it is specifically
   with quotes. I have tried manually bringing the code into my code editor to ensure
   all formatting is stripped out, tried copying code from another client’s site(
   where it is working), tried manually writing but all with no luck.

 * This is happening with:
 * Wordpress 5.0.3
    ACF Pro 5.7.11 ACF Code Field 1.7
 * Thanks

 * Are you seeing slashes before a quotation mark? If yes, t’s a bug found on ACF
   Pro 5.7.11. Re-download a copy of the same version from your ACF Pro account.
   I’m not sure why they didn’t release 5.7.12 but they just instructed me to download
   the new copy of 5.7.11.

 * Can confirm that the solution from [@mrrobot2017](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrrobot2017/)
   works – at least for me
