I had been in touch with both him and the core WordPress development team about this issue. I am glad to see that he moved quickly to fix the issue as it also posed a security vulnerability on top of interfering with Gravity Forms. The issue was present in the Redirection plugin and several other plugins by the same author. He has fixed them all.

So as long as you use the latest version of the Redirection plugin, it should not interfere with Gravity Forms.

i upgraded the plugin on one of my sites... created a new Gravity Form and put some quotes in one of the field descriptions... the form data was saved correctly and the preview showed the form with no data loss... it appears to have been fixed.

can you or anyone else help confirm this?

have fun at WordCamp Boston.

What this means is when ANY data is posted to WordPres (not post as in a WordPress post but post as in a form post) the Redirection plugin is intercepting it and stripping the slashes that WordPress by default adds in front of special characters.

Our plugin does not expect the slashes to be stripped... so we then get the variables and it causes problems with how we process the data.

This is a good example of a plugin that is impacting data that is outside the scope of it's intended use... and a good example of what NOT to do. This is why conflicts happen.

I am trying to get in touch with the author of the Redirection plugin to get his input and inquire as to why he does it this way and if he can change it. We are also looking into a workaround to avoid this causing a problem on our end.

Have you had any other reported issues since the last update? My WP backend is in quite a lot of troble - the login page is blank, so there's no way for me to access other than FTP. I'm not quite sure what to do here - if I pull the gravity folder out I'll lose all of my forms, no?

Help!
