back slash after every ‘ is being displayed

Very likely the default sanitization callbacks for the field. Which field type is this for? Textarea is my guess until told otherwise.

Check out https://github.com/CMB2/CMB2/wiki/Field-Parameters#sanitization_cb

I’d need to dig through the code to see if I can locate the default sanitization function. I think it’s sanitize_text_field()

Perfect!

Since I already have built in the software my own sanitize_text_field and the equivalent for the email and URL’s: filter_var($Record[‘link’], FILTER_SANITIZE_URL); and
filter_var($Record[’email’], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);

This should help! Thanks!!

I did try all this, but while I tried to filter it with sanitize and such, the /’ remains on any apostrophe. Any other thoughts?

ahead of you. Already did that…still there. Saw the same page. But I will give it a second look.

Are you running it before output on the frontend or trying to prevent them in the saving? There’s valid reason to keep them for the database side.

HUMMM, good point. yes, I just checked. upon saving to the database. But that is a good point, I will go through both of them again..

ok, I missed one of them. Great catch. Thanks.
