    Hi there,

    Thanks for great software!

    I’ve noticed some people with an apostrophe in their last name, that this gets a backslash in the backend:

    e.g. Someone O\’Callaghan

    Could that be improved?

    The plugin does not normally do this for apostrophes, so probably the backslash is in the database value. You can check for this by opening your database in a tool like phpMyAdmin and look at the name field. If you see backslashes, you can manually remove them.

    You may want to figure out how the backslash got in there so you can avoid it in the future. The plugin doesn’t add backslashes.

    When you’re importing data, don’t escape apostrophes. You can either use an enclosure (this surrounds the data with double quotes so the apostrophe isn’t interpreted as a single quote) or you can substitute the single quote in the name with a real apostrophe or use an HTML entity.

    Great, thank you for that insight! ??
