   Hi all,

   it seems any html inserted as the 'Post Content' text is escaped incorrectly. Can any one confirm this?

   eg. I pasted this;

   <a href="/wp-login.php">You have to login to continue.</a>

   and this is stored and rendered;

   <a href=\"/wp-login.php\">You have to login to continue.</a>

   which obviously doesn't render very well!

   Cheers,
   Seb.

   Hey Seb.,

   I actually just ran into the same exact problem a few hours ago. Here's the fix for it (looks like my OLD school coding came in handy after year 2000 after-all, lol).

   <a href="/wp-login.php">You have to login to continue.</a>

   is your intended target. You have to take off the quotes and use ../ go "up" the number of levels necessary to reach your wp-login.php file at the root directory (or wherever your WordPress standalone is currently located.)

   Take a look at my example, I hope it helps you:

   I pasted:

   <a href=../../../../subscribesupport>Upgrade Here</a>

   and this is what is linked when rendered to the no-access portion:

   <a href="http://unworldlife.com/subscribesupport">

   Please note that for some odd reason UAM is actually adding on the URL to the Post, prior to your actual /wp-login.php, and this is the key reason for needing to use the "../".

   Once again, I hope this works out for you, it immediately fixed the issue on my site.

   Cheers,

   Jamal the Un Reaper
