Single quotes getting double escaped on text strings?

    I’m having a problem with backslashes getting added in front of apostrophes/single quotes in banner_text and banner_title. I did a test where I added a \’ in a title string and \\\’ was added to the database record (two backslashes added). Entries with just one single quote get written to the database as \’

    I found the record in wp_options and the backslashes are in the record. It seems like this is happening on input. Any ideas? Could there be some php setting on my server that is affecting this?

    examples:

    Thanks Again,

    I can put the fix here. I hope LenSlider2 will be released at start of February… hope =)

    Hi! Thanks for the plugin. I have the same issue. How can I fix it by myself?

    Hi Igor! Good plugin, but we have same problem as on top…
    Any news about new release? I tought to add a stripslashes somewhere, but I don’t know where… Any clue?
    thanks,
    marco

    Only workaround we have now is to use html entities (aka "), but my client will never stand those snags…

    hi for all! sorry for late LenSlider2 with a lot of fixes)
    ok, fix for 1.2:
    /wp-content/plugins/len-slider/lib/lenslider.class.php:925
    for($i=0;$i<count($array[1]);$i++) $html_out = str_ireplace("%{$array[1][$i]}%", $slider_banner[$array[1][$i]], $html_out);
    replace to:
    for($i=0;$i<count($array[1]);$i++) $html_out = stripcslashes(str_ireplace("%{$array[1][$i]}%", $slider_banner[$array[1][$i]], $html_out));
