Wordpress Additional Backslash Shows Up

If you’re finding code within PRE tags are getting additional backslashes, this following post by mlambie may help out:

At the risk of being pedantic, the code [in wpautop()] should read:


$pee = preg_replace(
  '!(<pre.*?>)(.*?)</pre>!ise', " stripslashes('$1')
 . stripslashes(clean_pre('$2'))
 . '</pre>' ", $pee);

Thanks mlambie!
