Question Backslash Problem

We understand the problem. I, personally, don't know how to fix it. Disabling magic quotes enabled in PHP configuration may required talking to your webhosting provider to see if you can disable this on your site or whether there is a global setting (affecting all users of a shared server) that they are willing to change for you.

I can't see you config (not a moderator) but do you have RokCandy installed, if so, turn it off.

I don't know anything about the site, either, apart from what the user has given us (and I think camsarim has edited his configuration report). So, I'm guessing. If I had the URL of the website, if the user had upgraded to K 1.7.2 and posted his unedited Kunena configuration report, if ... :whistle:

Here is the latest config : (and No, I do not use RokCandy)

As I said earlier I cannot see the details as tags hide it from non-moderators/admins, but just to save time, you have not edited the config details you pasted from your Kunena admin have you? As that means time will be wasted again.

I am copying and pasting whatever I see under "Report Configuration Settings", I am not editing anything. On the initial one I had just deleted my domain name, that was all. This one is whatever's reported by Kunena. Let me know what I need to change here.

Users should not reveal what's inside confidential tags as that information may reveal sensitive (enough) information to hackers. One of them is URL to the site, which should be only public if users himself wants.

There are 3 possible causes of the issue:
1) incoming data gets escaped
2) database INSERT gets escaped

Kunena itself is not escaping data anywhere, so it must be something else that's doing this.

So next we need to find out if the issue is restricted just to posting messages, or if the issue is also in the Kunena categories, profile (disable JomSocial profile integration to test it) -- and if you have the same issues outside Kunena, such as in articles or JomSocial.

Thank you for posting your unedited Kunena configuration report. I think I've found the cause of the problem: your website loads Turn off whatever is generating these things.

Sozzled, are you sure that JavaScript is causing these issues? Because of I suspect that the issue is in much lower level.

BUT It's better to enable gzip in Apache/PHP than using a plugin to do it.
