Hi there,<\/p>\n

I’m implementing The Events Calendar PRO for a client on their site, and one small issue we’ve run into is that when you enter a search term into the field (City\/Zip in this case), then use the browser’s back button, THEN use the Browser’s Forward Button, it populates the field with HTML characters for spaces.<\/p>\n

I know this is due to HTML escaping, and my guess is that the field is repopulated with the variable as stored (which is filtered), rather than “As Typed”. Is there a way to have it run through a filter on the way back, before repopulating the field, so that it displays the plaintext instead of the filtered text?<\/p>\n

Thanks,
\nKhaled<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1119197","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nSearch Field Shows HTML Character Code -<\/title>\n<meta
