Data (thank gawd) is correct in the DB, just displays without the backslashes in the admin View entry page.</p> <p>GF 1.5.2 WP 3.1.2 PHP 5.2.10 I've performed standard testing, disabled theme, all other plugins. Tested in FF4, IE8, Chrome. Issue still occurs. </p> <p>Odd thing is I reverted to GF 1.4.5 and the issue also still occurs, even though I am sure it was working with that version previously.</p> <p>Only change recently is updating to WP 3.1.1 to 3.1.2.</p> <p>Edit: Rolled back to 3.1.1. No change, \ characters are still gone.</p> <p>Ideas? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/backslash-character-in-form-entry#post-1107 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:45:59 +0000 Chad Ross 1107@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks. Works great! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/backslash-character-in-form-entry#post-910 Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:23:18 +0000 Carl Hancock 910@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>We have released an updated version of Gravity Forms that should take care of this issue. You may update your install using Automatic Upgrade in your WordPress plugins page or by downloading the v1.2.1 release from the Downloads page.</p> <p>If you go to your plugins page and it says no updates are available for Gravity Forms, click on the "Installed" link under the "Plugins" page once again to force WordPress to check for updates. It caches this information. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/backslash-character-in-form-entry#post-875 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:59:12 +0000 Alex Cancado 875@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>chadlanchlanross,<br /> We have identified the problem. It is a bug in Gravity Forms causing slashes to be stripped off when they shouldn't. We are currently working on a fix. I will let you know when it is ready for you to give it a try. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/backslash-character-in-form-entry#post-870 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 06:08:11 +0000 Chad Ross 870@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you.
