Line break converted to Space!

Hi Jihad Sinnaour,

Hello,

Im encountering the issue in the “Course” admin area:
Example: Textarea (metabox) “_lp_featured_review“

Reproduce action:
– Set a list of strings using line break in the “_lp_featured_review”, e.g list of emails
– Save CPT “lp_course“

Excpected behavior:
– After updating the CPT “lp_course”, Line breaks (“\n”) in “_lp_featured_review” should not be converted to spaces.

Original issue:
– I Built an add-on to add textarea “_foo_lp_email_list”, using Filter “lp_course_data_settings_tabs” & by extending LP_Meta_Box_Textarea_Field class, Now the behavior is changed.

Possible causes:
– WordPress update that have impacts on your plugin saving CPT action hook
– Your plugin’s update..

Thanks

Hi Jihad Sinnaour,

Thank you for providing detailed information about the issue.

The change in behavior is due to a recent update addressing security concerns, which inadvertently affected the handling of line breaks in textareas like “_lp_featured_review.”

We understand the impact this has on your functionality and will investigate the issue to see if we can find a solution. We will notify you once we have an update or a fix.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

– We don’t have intention to remove line breaks, it is bug when we fix security, we don’t know that, now we see and will fix the next version.

Thank so much.
