Title: Escaping Checker Author: Tom J Nowell Published: December 26, 2015 Last modified: April 17, 2018 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/escaping-checker/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=1859975) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/escaping-checker/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=1859975) # Escaping Checker By [Tom J Nowell](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tjnowell/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/escaping-checker.1.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/escaping-checker/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/escaping-checker/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/escaping-checker/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/escaping-checker/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/escaping-checker/) ## Description This plugin adds a shortcode that when used inserts an escaping checker. The checker gives you a form you can enter potentially unsafe content into, and when submitted, passes that content through every sanitisation, validation and escaping function in WordPress Core, and some PHP Core functions ## Screenshots * [[ * The escaping form ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder into the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Place the `[tomjn_escaping_tests]` in a page or post and save If you prefer to create a dedicate page template, use `echo tomjn_escaping_tests();` ## FAQ Installation Instructions 1. Upload the plugin folder into the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Place the `[tomjn_escaping_tests]` in a page or post and save If you prefer to create a dedicate page template, use `echo tomjn_escaping_tests();` There’s a Lot of Escaping Functions! Yes! But not every function listed here is an escaping function, there are validation and sanitising functions too, some of them are PHP Core functions rather than WordPress functions ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/a714a4f118e06b03e1a5a8b84c5d286570f1deb2534eacd0f79953139e24807a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very useful](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-useful-2835/)󠁿 [shanebp](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shanebp/) October 13, 2021 Good tool.
