   The slashes are also in the edit post preview and in post preview instead of a link going to say http://www.thedenverchannel.com/ it goes to http://www.thetrenchcoat.com/wp-admin/%5C%22http://www.thedenverchannel.com/

   I seem to have got the slashes out of my actual posts by editing them in wordpress and just clicking save again. However this has not worked for some things. Like I have a trackback from "swat\'s blog" and no amount of editing will remove the slash.
   As other people are having the same issues I guess that there must definatly be some extra addslashes functions in the code that shouldn't be there somewhere!

   Temp fix:
   add_filter('comment_text', 'stripslashes');

   Thanks Matt,
   That did the trick for now.

   I'm having it too. applied the temp fix and that seems to be helping.

   I downloaded a few new files from CVS and it appears to solve the problem without the temp fix.

    I have had the same problem after upgrading today. The weird thing is that I have the Recent Comments hack installed, and the comments that are displayed show up as they normally would. No problem with the ' being a /. But the actual comments in the text of the site do render the ' as a / .
    I was able to remedy this by Editing some of the comments, but it is a tedious process.

    I added the new files from the CVS but I'm still getting the slashes in the edit post preview.

    Ok, this time I did a straight out of the box upgrade. Nothing has been edited and I'm still getting slahes in the edit post preview.
    If anyone can help me with this I'll name my second born son WordPress. (I already promised to name my firstborn 2fargon for helping me with an eraslier issue)

    I have this with Mingus right out of the box, in the comments, not in the posts.

    The posts on the site itself is fine but in WordPress at the Advanced Editing screen under Post Preview I'm getting the slashes and I don't know how to correct that.

    i have the same problem.
    how do we use the 'add_filter' that was suggested earlier?

17. MathiasBynens

    Just put it in my-hacks.php. Or in wp-includes/vars.php, along with the other filters.

    nice.
    add_filter('comment_text', 'stripslashes'); worked like a charm.

    I put that in my pop-up comments and it worked great, thanks Matt!

    Worked perfectly in vars. No slashed anywhere now. Thank you all. :)

    I just had an email that the same problem is happening in the RSS files, too. Will those new wp-includes files handle this problem?
    And this is a serious enough problem to think about adding something to the development blog or front page with how-to grab these files and install for the non-techs.
    Not everyone understands what 'CVS' means.

    I downloaded and updates the files mentioned earlier -- no difference.
    I realize that any release will have problems, but this one is significant enough that I can't recommend the 1.2 release to anyone until a fix is made. We can't have non-coders dropping function calls hither and yon--not without probably creating worse problems.

    I've seen this problem reappear in the nightly builds...

    How do you apply the add_filter('comment_text', 'stripslashes') fix?

    You could add it to my-hacks.php

    Saw this in content in both wp_posts and wp_comments after upgrade from 1.0 to 1.2, and I wasn't certain the add_filter() fix was working, and also it seemed better to fix the data than filter the rendering (data in db was definitely altered during the upgrade). After running a script to remove the backslashes from the content cols in each table all is fine... -dchud

    Where's my-hacks.php? I tried adding the filter to vars.php, but I still have slashes--not in comments (I have no comments), and not on my index page--but on all the other pages (archives). http://patrioticearthling.com/blog/index.php
