Hi Team,
I noticed a week ago a problem with a code embedded in the post. Parts of it disappears while trying to edit it
Example:
1. I'm adding to the post a code like
#include <sample.h>
2. Saving the post and it looks fine
3. Editing post and then I see a code like
#include
The part basically disappears
Other examples:
1. Adding code like that
aaa::bbb:ccc
2. Saving post
I see
aaaccc
I thought it's a problem with wpForo - Syntax Highlighter plugin I bought while I turned it off and the same is with a plain version of code formatting.
I've cleaned a wpForo cache, turned off/on other plugins installed - with no success.
I'm attaching screenshots to visualize the problem.
This is a very unfortunate problem as the code embedded loses parts of it and forum users who copy the code from the forum have lot's of problems as it's not complete.
EDIT: Actually it looks that this is a general problem with wpForo not mine only. I see in this post the same issue
Please just try to edit this post and see the red text in published and edit mode: aaa::bbb::ccc
Hi @czaban,
Please go to \wp-content\plugins\wpforo\wpf-includes\ open wpf-hooks.php, find
$post['body'] = htmlspecialchars($post['body']);
this code will be comented by default, make it uncomented.
also add this at the end of the line
, ENT_NOQUOTES);
So the code will look like this
$post['body'] = htmlspecialchars($post['body'], ENT_NOQUOTES);
@chris confirming, it solves the first case 2nd case is still problematic
please try the case in the attached screenshot
problem is after saving the post
Go to wp-content\plugins\wpforo\wpf-includes open function.php, find the below code
function wpforo_strip_shortcodes(
after that, make a comment, the code before the if
