WordPress theme options

  • Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone knew of a quick fix for an issue I’m having with a textarea within a theme options page.

    When I save the content within a textarea, wordpress seems to add a back slash \ to certain characters. Each time I save an additional slash is added.

    For example if i were to save

    href=”https://google.com” when saved this would appear like href=\”https://google.com\”

    Then wish each additional save the backslashes would duplicate so i could after time end up with href=\\\\\\\\”https://google.com\\\\\\\\”

    The same applies for a few other characters.

    Has anyone encoutered this before ? and if so do you know of a magical cure.

    Thanks

  • use stripslashes()

    for example:
    <textarea><?php echo $textarea_content; ?></textarea>

    change it to:
    <textarea><?php echo stripslashes($textarea_content); ?></textarea>
