Quotes in Titles

[mcian]

Hello,

WP replaces quotes (" or &quot) in Titles and Content by default to a typographic quote, eg ″ (double right quote). This can be disabled for titles using remove_filter(“the_title”, “wptexturize”);

My case:
i have a string like eg <Testword "> (ending in a straight double quote) and use that in an X accordion as title, then X replaces that quote by `` (that are TWO single left quotes).

Testword " becomes Testword ``

So i try th HTML entity <Testword "> which totally crashes the interpreter.

My Question: What do i need to do to have proper quotes in eg accordions titles? Of course i truly need them, because the straight quotes are used as inch measurement, eg <2 inch disk> equals 2 " disk.

And yes, i know why you are masking them, but i need to have a correct solution…

Hi @mcian,

Thanks for reaching out.

The HTML entities seem to work on my installation, it shouldn’t crash it. Example,

“ Accordion Item 1”

Is that what you’re trying to achieve?

Thanks!

Hi Rad,

no, i would like to have " See screenshhots, yours work, mine crashes

OK:

NOK:

Im trying to get the headline in a shortcode: function shortcode_accordion_tab($atts, $content) and the array ($atts) gets mangled:

(
    [0] => headline="Kioskdrucker
    [1] => 2``
)

…not even masking it helps: Kioskdrucker 2\" still yields two single left quotes in front end

Mark close, it was a bug in Page builder, not X. For anyone stumbling upon this: it’s function prepareAtts() from shortcodes.php which does the bad encoding. Thanks WPB, you did it again.

Edit: + 3 more in admin/frontend and other javascript post processings scripts… unbelievable bad coding style…

Glad to know it works now!
