I made a plugin to allows admins to set various variables I use in my themes (was created from the YourFirstPlugin). The ones that allow the user to enter content, for example I have an option to enter content into the footer, the links will not work.

If I put in a link <a href='linkURL'>Link</a> it will put it in the footer as <a href="%27linkURL%27">Link</a>

If I put in a link <a href="linkURL">Link</a> it will put it in the footer as <a href="%22linkURL%22">Link</a>

BUT, if I put in a link <a href=linkURL>Link</a> (no ' or " around the link URL) it works just fine.

Here are some snippets of code as an example of how I coded this in the plugin;

<tr> <!-- Footer Content -->
				<td class='tborder' style='width: 200px'>
					<span class='smalltext' style='font-weight: bold'>
						".NBW_OPT_THE_04."
					</span>
				</td>
				<td class='tborder' style='width: 200px' valign='top'>
					<input class='tbox' size='35' type='text' name='nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04' value='".$pref["nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04"]."' />
				</td>
			</tr>

$pref['nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04']        = $tp->toDB($_POST['nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04']);

and then I add it into the theme as a theme shortcode, here is the contents of the .sc file;

if($pref["nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04"]) {
	$ret = $pref["nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04"];
	}

return $ret;

Any ideas why this happens and how I can fix it?

Firstly, change:

if($pref["nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04"] && $pref["nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04"] !== "") {

if($pref["nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04"]) {

The second part isn't needed (it's saying the same thing, more or less).

Your problem may reside in this here:

<input class='tbox' size='35' type='text' name='nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04' value='".$pref["nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04"]."' />

More specifically:

value='".$pref["nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04"]."'

Try this instead:

value='".$pref['nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04']."'

.

If that doesn't fix it I'm going to need to see more of the file you are posting those snippets from.

That didnt seem to help, I tried ".$pref["nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04"]." ".$pref['nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04']." and ".$pref[nbw_theme_options_opt_the_04]." in both the plugin and theme.

Inside the database <a href="linkURL">Link</a> is stored as <a href=& quot;linkURL& quot;>Link</a> (without the space between & and quot;

How show I transfer the file for you to see?

So, I'll blame this on lack of cake.

You need to run the information through the toHTML() function for it to display correctly. (Sorry I missed this!).

That is not working and nothing else I have tried is working.
