wp_kses_post()

  • I am using $_POST[‘item_meta’] to send information to a mySQL database and there is an & in the text. It is being changed to & when sent to the mySQL database.

    How can I stop this from happening?

    You shouldn’t stop it. It’s done for security reasons to help prevent SQL injection attacks. When such content is output, it usually appears correctly. In the cases where it’s a problem, after you get the data from the DB, just replace all occurrences of ‘&’ with ‘&’.
