Question Backslash Problem

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.

Have seen issues before with other GZIP plugins (e.g. RokGZIP) and Kunena. When the plugin is disabled, hey presto, Kunena works again.

I'm not sure which particular brand of plugin is involved here, but there's something else loading on the site that has slowed page loads down to about 2½ seconds.

Okay, thanks for the diagnostic help.

Here are what I have tried :

1.Enabled Gzip, disabled Gzip from Joomla Global Config --- Problem continues
2.Enabled Jomsocial Integration, disabled Jomsocial Integration (all options off and on) from Kunena settings --- problem continues


I don't quite understand what sozzled's suggestion was. How am I supposed to reverse engineer that information?


This is a problem which makes it impossible to use Kunena. Forum gets stuffed with (\)s all over, annoying users and moderators. So frustrating, don't know what to do.

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.

Tested the articles. This is only happening in Kunena "posting" or "modifying the posts" as far as I know.

There is something wrong with your setup.

Go back over all the posts, and do as suggested.

The GZIP Sozzled was talking about was not the Joomla one it was a GZIP module such as RokGZip or maybe one inside a Gantry template.

You have also established that the issue is only in Kunena itself, so which module is interfering with Kunena?
