backslash(\) is not displaying in post

[gelodefaultbrain]

I am displaying a source code on a website I am trying to make

example:

//must be like this
 printf("Hello World\n");

but instead it displays like this

//it displays like this, so annoying please update your plugin
printf("Hello Worldn");

As you can see it removes the backslash ( \ )

why is that man, I am trying to display a source code and the backslash must be included. It is very important especially on a particular programming language. Thank you.

vs

[gelodefaultbrain]

i cannot reproduce the issue:

Classic Editor

Gutenberg Editor

How did you do that? :(

This is my settings by the way I use Atomic cause I like the theme

[AndiDittrich]

i believe that you're experiencing this behaviour but currently i assume that it's on of your plugins or your theme which may strip that out...

[gelodefaultbrain]

I don't have any plugin besides elementor like pods, and also elementor syntax highligther but I am not using it :(

[AndiDittrich]

maybe it's elementor which strips it . try to create a post in Gutenberg or classic editor...

the issue doesn't seems to be related to Enlighter...

[gelodefaultbrain]

I tried to change the theme to classic still no luck :(

[AndiDittrich]

not the Enlighter theme...your WordPress theme..

[gelodefaultbrain]

May I ask what is Gutenberg? Sorry I'm new to Wordpress, is it a plugin like for displaying source codes too?

[AndiDittrich]

Gutenberg is the new WordPress editor used as of WordPress 5.0

in case you're using Elementor Page Builder you should ask in their forums for support.

maybe you should start with WordPress without page builders..

[gelodefaultbrain]

Hello, omg are you the dev of this plugin? hahaha The plugin is great anyways still no luck :(

[AndiDittrich]

i'm not sure whats going wrong on your site - i assume some kind of environment error.

maybe you can try it in a "clean" environment to identify the issue (theme or plugin).

at the moment, i can only confirm that this issue cannot be reproduced within the testing environment and didn't occur on regular installations

[gelodefaultbrain]

Yep I'll try on other themes, I'll make an update here soon :) thank you :D
