Getting slashes before quotes/apostrophes in bbPress 1.0-alpha-6 integrated with WP.

Have searched forum for solution, but most seem to be from 2 years ago (what can be found anyway). The core file that needs to be edited (bb-includes/template-functions.php) in those instructions is no longer called that (yes, i know which one it has become), but the code also looks markedly different.

While I have *some* PHP knowledge and can follow most step-by-step stuff, I’m starting out with a different syntax than the instructions, which makes me a little nervous.

Here’s the code I think I may need to change:

‘function get_post_text( $post_id = 0 ) {

$bb_post = bb_get_post( get_post_id( $post_id ) );

return apply_filters( ‘get_post_text’, $bb_post->post_text, $bb_post->post_id );’

and then what about forum titles?

Is there an easier way to do this now, or do the core files still have to be edited?

What does that mean? /’ doesn’t work or …?

I think he means that quotes and apostrophes are displaying with a in front of them. Like it’s being escaped and never un-escaped.

So, instead of “It’s Great” you would see “It’s Great” on display.

The issue in the past only occured when integrated with WordPress, IIRC.

I would avoid editing core files.

Oh! Okay, that makes a little more sense. I can’t see why it would matter if you integrated (I’m integrated and I see naught on BB1.0a6/WP2.7), though.

Edit UNLESS it’s a charset issue. See this

[chrishajerParticipant @chrishajer 4 years, 2 months ago]

Or a language file issue. I seem to recall that using a different language file caused this too. Maybe it’s a combination: different language AND integration, or different charset AND integration.

[Ipstenu (Mika Epstein)Moderator @ipstenu 4 years, 2 months ago]

Integration, in and of itself, shouldn’t matter though. Shared DB does not integration make, and I think that pinning it on ‘integration’ may send some folks down the wrong path.

Check your language file, check your charset for your DB. Let us know!

I’m having the same issue. Any other suggestions?

My setup:

Integrated:

WP 2.7.1

bbPress 1.0-alpha-6

Using the default bb-config charset & collation:

define(‘BBDB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);

define(‘BBDB_COLLATE’, ”);

Using the defauly wp-config charset & collation:

define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);

define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

Using the default language file. In other words, I haven’t changed anything and it should be using the English.

Database is:

UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

utf8_unicode_ci

I’ve found a solution for this. You need to edit bbpress/bb-includes/functions.bb-posts.php and replace the function bb_get_post (it is the first function in file) with

function bb_get_post( $post_id ) {

global $bbdb;

$post_id = (int) $post_id;

if ( false === $post = wp_cache_get( $post_id, 'bb_post' ) ) {

$post = $bbdb->get_row( $bbdb->prepare( "SELECT * FROM $bbdb->posts WHERE post_id = %d", $post_id ) );

$post = bb_append_meta( $post, 'post' );

wp_cache_set( $post_id, $post, 'bb_post' );

}

//here is the only new line for stripping slashes

$post->post_text = stripslashes($post->post_text);

return $post;

}

Not sure that it is the elegant solution but it works for me.
