   Hi, I'm importing an .xml that contains tags such as:

   "foo'bar"

   After the import is completed the name becomes "foo\'bar".

   How could I fix this? How to get rid of that "\" ? I don't have magic quotes ON either on my local development environment, neither online in the remote server, so the problem might be in the importer plugin.

   Maybe I found, but I'm not sure if this could lead to security holes. The procedure imports fine as I expect.

   line 75 of wordpress-importer.php, changing:

   $return = $wpdb->escape( trim( $return ) );

   to:

   $return = trim( $return );

   Maybe escpaing is done afterward anyway, because I don't get any SQL error with the modification.

   Any opiniono on this?

   It doens't even seem to work this way online, even with magic quotes Off :(

   I'm doing the import even if it's messing the tag names, I'll edit the rows in phpmyadmin with a replace to get rid of the \ later... a fix to this would be really appreciated though.
