    Hello,

    I’ve been trying to insert a Special Heading Shortcode in a blog post and have figured out that it simply wasn’t appearing because I had special characters in my heading.

    I wanted a heading that said “Tania’s Magnific-Essence”. This contains an “‘” and a “-“. So when previewing the post, it simply wasn’t there. I’m glad I figured out why it was doing that, but my question is, is there a way to have a Special Heading with hyphens and possessives. These are so common in the English language, that I’m sure I’ll come up with that issue again.

    Thanks.

    Hi dominiquehurley!

    You can find the html code for most special characters here: http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm

    Thanks Rikard,

    That was my introduction to html, but I must have done something wrong because it didn’t work.
    If I enter Tania's Magnific-Essence in the Special Headings Window, it does correct it in the blog edit window to this, which I want,

    “[av_heading heading='Tanias Magnific-Essence' tag='h3' style='' size='' subheading_active='' subheading_size='15' padding='10' color='custom-color-heading' custom_font='#5f3194'][/av_heading]

    but then if I update and preview, there’s no heading in the post.

    If I go in manually and correct the code to this in the formula in the blog edit window, to this:
    “[av_heading heading='Tania's Magnific-Essence' tag='h3' style='' size='' subheading_active='' subheading_size='15' padding='10' color='custom-color-heading' custom_font='#5f3194'][/av_heading]

    the sub-heading appears in the post, but with all the symbols and numbers, not the corrected version.
    Tania's Magnific-Essence

    Can you spot what I’m doing wrong? Thanks.

    Hi!

    Thanks for that, I’m unsure what the user is though? We need a user and password to log in.

    Cheers!

    Hey!

    You can also try to escape the characters by adding backslashes:

    \"Tania\’s Magnific\-Essence\"

    Note that you need to add the backslashes if you edit the element again.

    Cheers!

    Hi!

    You can use it like this:

    [av_heading heading='& #034;Tania's Magnific& 045;Essence& #034;' tag='h3' style='' size='' subheading_active='' subheading_size='15' padding='10' color='custom-color-heading' custom_font='#5f3194'

    Remove the space after the ampersand.

    Cheers!

    Hey!

    I tried one of the html character codes in a special heading editor and it worked. You can try it again or just use the “escape”. Glad to see you again on the forum. :)

    Cheers!
