Easy Blog is escaping quote characters when I post from the front end. After saving the blog post, I end up with something that looks like this:

and I get this error in the back end:

This just started happening today... How can I fix this? Is it an issue of turning off the PHP setting for Magic Quotes? ("magic_quotes_gpc = Off") If so, which do I need to change? (I'm on shared hosting at SiteGround)
; Magic quotes for incoming GET/POST/Cookie data.
magic_quotes_gpc = Off
; Magic quotes for runtime-generated data, e.g. data from SQL, from exec(), etc.
magic_quotes_runtime = Off
; Use Sybase-style magic quotes (escape ' with '' instead of \').
magic_quotes_sybase = Off

Thanks
Ari
My web host has just set "magic_quotes_gpc = Off" and that seems to have fixed the escaping quotes problem.

Hello Ari,

Thanks for the heads up on this, are you still having issues after magic_quotes_gpc is disabled?
