In my case I have JSON stored in the post_content field in the wp_posts table, it looks like this:

[["Column A","Info Doc"],["Column B","<a href=\"https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/old-doc.pdf\">PDF</a>\n<a href=\"https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/old-doc2.pdf\">PDF</a>"]]

Then when I replace the file with the option “Replace the file, use new file name and update all links” the JSON ends up looking like this:

[["Column A","Info Doc"],["Column B","<a href="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/new-doc.pdf">PDF</a>n<a href="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/new-doc2.pdf\">PDF</a>"]]

The escaping backslashes are removed on quotes and newlines (\n). For me wp_slash seems to prevent this from happening. I think by adding extra slashes which wp_update_post removes by calling stripslashes_deep.

The plugin I am using is the latest version (1.12) of TablePress by Tobias Bäthge. It creates tables which is stored as a custom post type in wp_posts. I am also using WordPress 5.5.1.

I hope this helps!

Awesome, I look forward to 3.3. I’ll retest my code when it comes out and if there are no issues we can mark this as resolved.

Thanks!
