[wp-hackers] add_post_meta won't save unescaped data. Why?

[Baki Goxhaj]

Hi Hackers,

So, I was trying to insert some meta data to a post inserted by
wp_insert_post. It would not save the metadata and I found this solution:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-add_post_meta-update_post_meta

Basically, the unenscaped data will be not saved.

*Doesn't: *add_post_meta($post_id, 'json-data', $json_string);

*Works: *add_post_meta($post_id, 'json-data', $wpdb->escape($json_string));


Lea and I have the following questions:* Is this a bug or a feature?
*
Kindly,
