Double Slash escaped URLs not converted

    My question is @ developers from the duplicator plugin:

    Hi, I have two types of URls in my WordPress database:

    http://localhost/mysite/

    this ones work and get converted by duplicator
    and I have Urls from this type:

    http:\\/\\/localhost\\/mysite\\/

    every slash escaped with two slashes.
    If I can get rid if the second slash that the Url looks like this:

    http:\/\/localhost\/mysite\/

    will duplicator convert this URLs ?
    The notation with one Slash is JSON Notation and I have this, because I use the Plugin “Tablepress” and tablepress stores the content of the table in the database in JSON notation. I have links to a WordPress page in a Tablepress Table.
    For unknown reason tablepress stores with two instead of one Backslash.

    My question in short:

    Can duplicator handle URLs where a slash is escaped with one Backslash in the database ?

    If not it would be a good idea to add this because then it is compatible to Tablepress, which stores always in JSON notation.
    ( Only in my case with two backslashes )

    Hey @naturewordpress,

    There is a way to edit the installer in code, but it is a bit technical. Apart from that I am aware of the issue and hope to provide an update in the next few releases so that it automatically handles these types of strings…

    Thanks~

    Hey @naturewordpress,

    The developer version should now have the fixes for the JSON format in place. The very latest version (0.5.7) can be found by following these instructions:

    -> Browse to http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/duplicator/developers/
    -> Look for the section “Other Versions”
    -> Click on “Development Version” and download the zip plugin file
    -> Uninstall your current version and install this one
    -> Note: This is a development line version so please test in your sandbox first to make sure you have no issues…

    Let me know if this solves your issue…

    Thanks
