 * Hi guys,
    I have a problem and its weird that I cant find anybody that has the
   same problem as me. I have created a few custom attributes to the add events 
   page however whenever I insert a single apostrophe (‘), It’s adding a slash and
   everytime i update the event, they double!
 * The address inserted the text fine even with a single apostrophe so i can only
   think that this is happening with custom attributes only.
 * Any help would be much appreciated homies!

 * hi
 * it also happens to me. however, you can try adding ' instead but definitely they
   will resolve the issue.

 * Thanks angelonwl… I really like Events Manager and I was wanting to upgrade to
   Events Manager Pro but the original Events Manager is a bit buggy so I just hope
   they fix these issues for us that use the free version as it puts us off from
   buying the pro version 🙁
 * Ill use this fix for now though 🙂
 * Now time to post another problem I’m having with Events Manager! lol Still love
   the plugin though!

 * This bug was just introduced either in this version or the one before. It didn’t
   do it before. You’ll also note that every time you edit the event, it will add
   more backslashes to the backslashes.
