I just discovered the Admin Help Sidebar field after updating to Admin Help Content v. 2.0 and confirmed that HTML there is being filtered differently than in the other fields.
See attached screenshot and look at what happens to links with quotations: <p>Have a quick question? See if Admin is in the <a href=\'http://tripawds.com/chat\' target=\'_blank\'>chat room</a>!</p>
Removing the quotes solves the problem, but one would expect all the fields on this admin page to be treated the same, or at least see a note about any restrictions next to the "HTML Allowed." notice.

Good catch, thank you for reporting this with such level of detail. The latest plugin update (v2.0.1, just released) should have a fix for this issue. For the existing sidebars (with slashes added), you'll want to remove them manually, but the issue shouldn't happen again.

Hi jcnjr,
Thanks for the detailed feedback on this, I'm seeing the same in testing. I'll tag the developer to have a look at it.
Thanks,
