   Hello,

   I'm in the process of creating my theme. I am having trouble with the option input and textarea fields. Here is my code:
   

   <?php
   
   if(get_option($value['id']) != '')
   {
       echo stripslashes(get_option($value['id']));
   }
   else
   {
        echo (stripslashes($value['std']));
   }
   
   ?>

   Unfortunatley, this is not stripping the slashes! The slashes are still appearing. So if the user typed in <div id="foo">bar</div> it would add escape slashes before the quote marks.

   Any reason why my stripslashes() function is being ignored?

   Thank you.

   Try htmlspecialcharacters I have seen this used for pagemeta.

   I am still finding my way around but I have used it like this:
   $scheme['menuBg'] = '#' .htmlspecialchars( get_post_meta( $postid, $prefix .'menu_bg_color', true ));

   B.T.W.
   You do not need the !="", the if is false if null, empty or 0 is returned.

   <?php
   if(get_option($value['id']))
   {
       echo htmlspecialchars(get_option($value['id']));
   }
   else
   {
       echo htmlspecialchars($value['std']);
   }
   ?>

   As you are outputting html then I am asuming that it is a template part, I notice that the structure is normally different and braces are rarely used in favor of :, I do not know why maybe someone else can explain, but the output would be like.
   

   <?php if(get_option($value['id'])) : ?>
    <?php echo htmlspecialchars(get_option($value['id'])); ?>
   <?php else: ?>
     <?php echo htmlspecialchars($value['std']); ?>
   <?php endif; ?>

   HTH
