In titles of custom posts the single and double quotes are displaying as HTML - eg: the string starting with & and ending with ; - in the front end, although in the backend they are just typed as regular straight ' and ".

Not sure what is causing this. Is there any way to fix it?

Sorry if I have used the wrong terminology - not familiar with this problem.

Thanks.

  • Try to remove wpuntexturize filter by putting this code in your functions.php - remove_filter( 'the_title' , 'wptexturize' );
