[Resolved] BuddyPress is eating my backslash !!!

I noticed that when I tried to post something with a backslash in the group forum, BuddyPress will prevent it from being displayed. For example, if I type:
```
\begin{align}
a_1& =b_1+c_1\\
a_2& =b_2+c_2-d_2+e_2
\end{align}
```
It will show up as:
```
begin{align}
a_1& =b_1+c_1
a_2& =b_2+c_2-d_2+e_2
end{align}
```
Since I’m using Mathjax to display maths equation, the lack of backslash broke the whole rendering. Using the ASCII method [by using & # 9 2 ; as backslash (without the white space) ] works but it’s more likely to annoy the user and not practical.

Oddly enough, I don’t have this problem in a normal post, comment or bbpress forum. Can someone explain why it’s happening??

Added after a few second:
I noticed that BuddyPress support forum is also eating my backslashes and I have to use the ASCII method to display the backslash……

hello,

put this into your child theme functions.php:
```
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_topic_post_content', 'stripslashes_deep' );
remove_filter( 'bp_get_the_topic_latest_post_excerpt', 'stripslashes_deep' );
```

First, if you use code on your topics, use the syntax highlighter evolved plugin.
Than you can – If you don’t want to remove the filters – type 3 slashes instead of only one. Two will be stripped and one will appear. Depends on what you (and your users) exactly need to do. 🙂
