I am using tabs to display user submitted content, and one user submitted something with square brackets contained within [ ]. This caused the content that should have been displayed to disappear.

1) How can I fix this problem, and 2) are there other special characters that could potentially break this plugin?

Bump.

I temporarily fixed this by using:
$text = preg_replace(“/[/”, ‘[‘, $text);
$text = preg_replace(“/]/”, ‘]’, $text);

But I want to make sure other characters won’t break things — I’d like an admin response.

Hi,

Can you please detail your issue as well as your solution?
– In which page did you use ja tab? (a screenshot is helpful)
– How can I log in to check?
– In which file did you apply the hack?

Hi, I didn’t hack anything; I just stripped brackets out of my content using the above. Screenshot won’t be useful because the div that should contain my tabs is empty when content contains a bracket. Go ahead and try it on your demo page.
