WP converting backslash in code to html entity

    Hi,

    I’m running a Genesis child theme.

    I have everything set up – the installation was smooth and the plug in looks great – but when I publish the page with the Google experiment code on, a backslash is being converted to an HTML entity and the script is failing validation with the error message:

    “Original:Possibly broken experiment code found here: line:5, column:1”

    The offending part is this. Here’s the original:

    '" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><\/sc'+'ript>')})();

    Here’s the same line after being published:

    '" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"><\/sc'+'ript>')})();

    Ah. Unfortunately the htmlentity is being converted back by the browser or forum software. But hopefully you get the idea.

    Here’s a link to the original of the A/B experiment:

    Any idea on how I can stop WP converting the backslash? I’ve tried publishing whilst in text editor but to no avail.

    Thanks

    Paul
