Escape characters and editing problems

Replies: 0

I’m having some odd issues when using the Easy Forms plugin. It installed fine, but when I created a new opt in form and added a link to the form restrictions message, the link was this:

https://www.graceful-pieces.com/"https://www.graceful-pieces.com/my-account/"

The restriction message then looks like this in the editor:

<a href="https://www.graceful-pieces.com/my-account">

Any time I edit the message (or just switch from text to visual), it adds more escape characters to the hyperlink:

<a href="\&quot;\\&quot;https://www.graceful-pieces.com/my-account\\&quot;\&quot;">

It also adds a backslash to any apostrophe:

don\’t

I can’t add any contractions in the message, and I end up not using any quotation marks in the hyperlink in order for it to render properly on my website.

Another thing is that any changes I make to the message require me to clear my website’s CloudFlare cache before the changes appear.

I’m currently using WP 5.4.2 and the Shop Isle (free) theme.

Thanks in advance!
