get_option and stripslashes
-
I am a bit confused as to why, as of WP 2.6.5, the
get_option()
function now strips slashes on all options except for a few hard coded wordpress options. This causes a serious problem when options need to have slashes in them, for example in a preBind username for WPDirAuth. There does not seem to be a way to prevent theget_option()
function from running the returned value throughstripslashes()
.We are using wpDirAuth in a corporate environment and the preBind username has a \ in it. The plugin wasn’t working with 2.6.5 or 2.7 because
get_option()
removed the required backslash. For now, all I can do is hard code the password into the plugin which is NOT a good option.Is there a way that we can tell
get_option()
to NOT run the returned value throughstripslashes()
?
