Topic: PostRatings widget replaces quotes with escape characters

[Maxim]

If you look at the bottom of the left sidebar on http://www.MaxiMovieBlog.com, you will see that double-quotes had been replaced with &8220; and &8221;
But regular WordPress plugins, such as "Recent posts" widget does not convert double-quotes into escape characters.

Please help me to get rid of that conversion.

Thanks. I looked and it was not easy to find. Apparently the solution is to set "title characters" to "0" in the settings. By loking at the plugin code, it seems this way the htmlspecialcharacters() or wp_specialcharacters() functions (by the way, what's the difference?) will be called with an empty $chars array, hence the $title won't be modified.

Since it's been answered some many times before, why don't you add it to your FAQ or Tips/Tricks sticky?

Thanks again,

Yea because it is quite difficult to count special chars and hence in order not to break the special chars, the best is not to truncate them
