 * Do you have an ability to check if the «Magic Quotes» is activated on your hosting?
   I can’t repeat the error: [http://wp-plugins.diamondsteel.ru/wp-ds-faq/faq-wp-ds-faq#14](http://wp-plugins.diamondsteel.ru/wp-ds-faq/faq-wp-ds-faq#14)

 * I have the same issue (WP 3.1.3, 3.2.1, 3.3).
 * This happens if editing questions directly on FAQ page that is displayed to visitors.
   I cannot check if it is working from inside wp-admin as the plugin (or my setup)
   seems to have another issue with that, but it used to work correctly in wp-admin
   before.
 * `magic_quotes_gpc` is off.

 * The problem is, [WordPress is doing auto-escaping itself](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-auto-escape-quotes),
   even if `magic_quotes_gpc` are turned off. This is ugly and stupid, but assuming
   we have to live with it, here is a possible hack. In file `wp-content/plugins/
   wp-ds-faq/ajax.php`:
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Posting_Code).

 * Fixed the issue for me.
 * = EDIT =
 * Oh well. Now they are deleting my code. Here it is:
 * [http://codepad.org/M7axVuUz](http://codepad.org/M7axVuUz)
 * Also it appeared that I was wrong and the quotes get extra-escaped even in wp-
   admin. So both `frontend_update_quest` and `update_quest` have to be fixed in`
   ajax.php`.
