Slashes being added in front of apostrophes

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    Sweet solution, thanks guys!

    Worked for me. I did note that tags and other input are still escaped, so there's still some work to do.

    Why does WP / BB not detect that kses has already been run on input? Makes sense not to duplicate input filters blindly.

    I have a site with a wordpress/bbpress integration using a modified Atahualpa/Kakumei theme. My wordpress is version 2.8.1 & my bbpress is version 0.9.0.5. and it all works fine.

    I want to upgrade to the latest version of bbpress( version 1.0.1 ) but when I tested it I get backslashes before any single or double quotes no matter where I'm at in bbpress. It happens in topic titles, topic contents, when putting in the name for the site etc..

    Both work fine with the integrated logins and cookies. The problem only comes after I've put my reference to wp-blog-header.php in the bb-config.php file.

    I could do the hack that was suggested earlier but the downfall to that is that you won't be able to have backslashes at all in anything.

    I'm thinking maybe the problem is that bbpress is using wordpress's apply_filters function instead of its own, but that is a guess.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Oh and besides the bbpress-integration plugin in wordpress i'm not using anything else on the test I did.

    I'm having the same problem as Croyd, plus as CitizenKeith says, there is no longer a specific 'WordPress Integration' plugin with the latest version of bbPress.

    Any ideas anyone?

    \\Edit - I came across a fix that works for me (http://bestservedcold.com/news/bbpress-and-wordpress-magic-quotes/comment-page-1). I also have both WP & bbPress integrated, and I commented out the line $_POST = add_magic_quotes($_POST); in wp-settings.php in my WordPress installation. I tried a test post in the forum and one on the blog and they both worked fine.

    I just applied the fix listed above (here: http://bestservedcold.com/news/bbpress-and-wordpress-magic-quotes/comment-page-1 ) on line 632 of wp-settings.php hash out $_POST = add_magic_quotes($_POST ); and it works on all new posts. I am wondering though if this will cause issues with any of the other plugins or the way wordpress itself functions.

    WP 3.0 / BBpress “Bechet” version 1.0.2

    Inside /wp-includes/load.php I found this code:

    // If already slashed, strip.
if ( get_magic_quotes_gpc() ) {
	$_GET    = stripslashes_deep( $_GET    );
	$_POST   = stripslashes_deep( $_POST   );
	$_COOKIE = stripslashes_deep( $_COOKIE );
}

    So I made a BBpress plugin that (so far) works for me.

    /bbpress/my-plugins/stripslashes.php

    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Strip Slashes
Plugin URI: http://www.uxtremist.com/
Description: Strips slashes from topics, tags and posts. Sort of.
Author: Adam Braimbridge <adam@uxtremist.com>
Version: 0.1
Author URI: http://www.uxtremist.com/
*/

// Make sure WordPress has been included
if (function_exists('wp_head')) {
	$_GET    = stripslashes_deep( $_GET    );
	$_POST   = stripslashes_deep( $_POST   );
	$_COOKIE = stripslashes_deep( $_COOKIE );
}
?>
