bp_esc_like( string $text )
Escape special characters in a SQL LIKE clause.
Description Description
In WordPress 4.0, like_escape() was deprecated, due to incorrect documentation and improper sanitization leading to a history of misuse. To maintain compatibility with versions of WP before 4.0, we duplicate the logic of the replacement, wpdb::esc_like().
