CKEditor Replacing Hyperlinks with Slash after WP Upgrade

Hi, After upgrading to Wordpress 3.3.2 and ckeditor 3.6.2.5 all the links input using the ckeditor wysiwyg are being deleted and converted to slashes.

Thus:

<a href="www.cnn.com">cnn</a>

becomes

<a href="\">cnn</a>

This happens with every single link added, whether manually entered into source or through the url widget. Obviously this is a bad situation. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix?

thank you.

I am experiencing the same issue and it is really not working out as I use it for a client to easily update their site. Is there any fix?

Re: CKEditor Replacing Hyperlinks with Slash after WP Upgrad

Hi guys,
what theme (template) do you use ?
Do you see any errors in Firebug or similar tool ?
Can you check if this error occurs in latest dev version (http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ckeditor-for-wordpress.zip) ?
I can't reproduce this issue.

EDIT:
What hosting do you use and which php version.

Could you check value of php.ini variable

magic_quotes_gpc

?
It's look like u have enabled magic quotes in PHP.

error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING; is all that is in my php.ini file. should i add that line or is it right for not being there? I contact my host and they wont upgrade to 5.4.2 but said ill get 5.3.2 next month.

@edgeonaboat,
can you check results of

phpinfo()

function. This function should show you all your php settings.
There you can check what is your

magic_quotes_gpc

variable.

Re: CKEditor Replacing Hyperlinks with Slash after WP Upgrad

I'm dealing with the same problem on a CakePHP application. On my local instalation (PHP Version 5.3.6) there is no problem, on the production server (PHP Version 5.3.9-ZS5.6.0) the links are replaced for a slash. On the local server, the magic_quotes_gpc are on (local value) and on (master value), on the production server they are off and on. What could be wrong?

Re: CKEditor Replacing Hyperlinks with Slash after WP Upgrad

guys can you test CKEditor (downloaded from http://ckeditor.com/download) as standalone application on yours servers ? Can you reproduce this issue with samples file of CKEditor library ?
Please try set

magic_quotes_gpc

to off (both values).
