Apostrophe in meta description.

[simon1066]

ZC v1.5.8a (vanilla)

Adding an apostrophe to a categories meta description in Admin adds an escape backslash before it

Simon's category

becomes

Simon\'s category

after making a subsequent edit to the meta fields it becomes

Simon\\\'s

and so on.

Using & # 3 9 ; (no spaces) as the apostrophe gives

Simon& # 3 9 ;s (no spaces)

I wonder if this is a bug as a ZC v1.5.6c install does not exhibit this behaviour.

I'd go for "Yes, it's a bug".

Ok, I'll raise an issue.

I understand this is an older post but was the backslash issue ever resolved?

I am encountering the same issue on a ZC 1.5.7 while adding apostrophe in meta title, description or kewords.

Any way to avoid it except for using '?

Thank you

'raise an issue' means an issue was raised on GitHub. @drbyte links to the resolution at the end of

https://github.com/zencart/zencart/issues/5735

(which I found by searching among the issues for 'apostrophe')

Thank you Simon. When it comes to GitHub, i am lost on the way it works and slowly getting a hang of it.

Thanks to your direct link to the issue discussion ,i was able to apply the changes.

I still have to remind myself to check GitHub for a solution, before getting my hands dirty!
