taht generates a shortcode like:

everything working fine, except oine thing, the ‘ Character.

array(
							"name" 	=> __("Text", 'avia_framework' ),
							"id" 	=> "text",
							"std" 	=> "",
							"type" 	=> "textarea"
						),

If I enter a ‘ char in this “Text” field, it doesnt get escaped as it should
as example: text=’test’s’ will be the endresult and not text=’test\’s’. Is there a hook or filter where I can “correctly apply escaping to a field?

Strangly, I did setup the page and that did work. I did update to latest enfold version and now, that is not working anymore. Is that a new bug that the encoding is not correctly working?

It dows work, when changing the field name from “text” to “content”. But what, if I want more than 1 “content” field?
Normal textarea should equallless its name escaped correctly in enfold…

Thanks for aour advice or fix.
