Automatic apostrophe replacement in a special header

Hey Oli,
Try using this code in your text in place of the apostrophes:

'

or this one:

’

Hi,

In the special heading element, please add the span tag with the “apos” class attribute. Example.

L<span class="apos"></span>international est au coeur des trois grandes missions de l<span class="apos"></span>IMT

And then use the following script in the functions.php file to add the apostrophe symbol inside the span tag.

// add apostrophe
function ava_custom_script_mod(){
?>
<script>
(function($){
		function decodeEntities(encodedString) {
		  var textArea = document.createElement('textarea');
		  textArea.innerHTML = encodedString;
		  return textArea.value;
		}

		$('.apos').text(decodeEntities('&apos;'));
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'ava_custom_script_mod');

Hi,
Glad you are back,
Please post us your login credentials (in the “private data” field), so we can take a look at your backend.

1. Install and activate ” Temporary Login Without Password “.
2. Go to ” Users > Temporary Logins ” on the left-side menu.
3. Click ” Create New “.
4. Add the email address for the account ( you can use (Email address hidden if logged out) ), as well as the ” Role ” making that the highest possible and the expiry about four days
   ( do be sure that we have enough time to debug ).
5. Click ” Submit “.
6. You’ll now have a temporary account. Please provide us here in the private section the URL, so we can login and help you out.

When your issue is fixed, you can always remove the plugin!
If you prefer to not use the plugin, you can manually create a admin user and post the login credentials in the “private data” field.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,

why changing the character after with Javascript code ? In the H1, the apostrophe is not modified (see https://www.imt.fr/formation/international/) but it is in the H2.

We opted to provide a solution this way so that you don’t have to modify the core theme files. Please try it again.

Hi,

Would this or another solution be added in the core version for the next release ?

I’m sorry but it’s not going to be included in the latest patch. The apostrophes are converted because they tend to break the shortcodes thus breaking the whole page. Another workaround is to replace the special heading element with a code block.

Hi,

I give you this example because when we add a button shortcode with a text with an apostrophe (for example S’inscrire), we need to replace simple quotes by double quotes.

This is the same case as the special heading element. We’ll forward the issue to Kriesi.

Ismael
