Strange characters appearing.

    Hi! I am wondering how come characters such as “\” keep appearing in my comments.

    For instance, the comment:
    “Don’t worry. We’ll definitely meet up soon.”

    appears as
    “Don\’t worry. We\’ll definitely meet up soon.”

    How do I remove the “\” characters? Do I have to do everything individually?

    Apparently this only happens in my comments. The characters do not appear in my weblog entries.

    Is anyone able to help?

    *bump*

    Hoping that someone is able to help me out here. Because the characters look unsightly.

    I have run a search on this problem and so far, the search results I have seen do not really work with the actual problem I have…

    autumnqiu,

    I *think* the issue is around stripslashes. Basically the slash you are seeing is an ESC character which tells the parser to treat the apostrophe as a bit of text rather than part of some PHP code.

    Normally these are supposed to be removed when the post or comment is generated. I recall having that issue on my site a long time ago, but to be honest, I’m not sure how it resolved. What version of WP are you running?

    autumnqiu,

    Would that be the latest official version, 1.2.2, or the most recent 1.5 beta from a nightly or CVS dowload?

    It is the latest official version, 1.2.2.

    By the way, the latest version I am using was installed via Fantastico on Cpanel.
