Slash Problem In Subscribe2

  • So I just sent out my first mailing list newsletter via the subscribe2 plug-in. I used the “Mail Subscribers” option in the Write section, as I didn’t want to generate an actual Post in the blog.

    Thing is, you end up with slashes every time there\’s an apostrophe or quotes. \” \’ Know what I mean?

    Anyone have a work-around for this?

    Thank you!

  • I wasn’t aware Subscribe 2 actually sent the mail – learn something new every day. I thought it was just for …subscriptions.

    Tell us what you did – exactly.

    Well, Subscribe2 doesn’t technically send the mail itself — it sends it through your email address as a bcc to all the members in your subscription list.

    What I did was utilize the “Mail Subscribers” option under “write” in the Admin area. This allows you to write an e-mail message directly to subscribers. The other way to use Subscribe2 is, of course, to set up a category or categories that automatically get sent to subscribers when you write a new post.

    Everything worked great, except for the formatting of apostrophes and quotation marks, which were preceeded in the text with the \ character. I know that this has something to do with the way PHP handles stringe… but that’s where my knowledge ends.

    Anyone else hit this, and figured out a solution to get rid of those \ characters?

    Thanks again.

    I have this exact problem.
    The plugin seems to work great, and the write message feature was a bonus I wasn’t even expecting…

    But the email it sends has a \ backslash inserted before every apostrophe ‘
