BUGFIX 351/352-05: Page Title Does Not Display Hyphens, Commas, etc.

juggledad · #1 Jul 9, 2010, 12:11 PM

DESCRIPTION: When you enter a special character in a page title and are using the 'Bytes For All SEO options' the special characracters will show up as their HTML equivalent: a hyphen will show as '–'

CAUSE: This issue occurs because both WordPress and Atahualpa are converting special characters in the title to the HTML equivalent.

FIX: edit bfa_meta_tags.php and find line 67-72 wich will be

HTML Code:

		if ( $bfa_meta_title != '' ) {
			#$bfa_ata_page_title = $bfa_meta_title; 
			$bfa_ata_page_title = htmlentities($bfa_meta_title,ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');
		} else {
			$bfa_ata_page_title = htmlentities(single_post_title('', false),ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');
		}

and change them to

HTML Code:

		if ( $bfa_meta_title != '' ) {
			#$bfa_ata_page_title = $bfa_meta_title; 
			$bfa_ata_page_title = htmlentities($bfa_meta_title,ENT_QUOTES,'UTF-8');
		} else {
			$bfa_ata_page_title = single_post_title('', false);
		}

or you can just download the attached zipped bfa_meta_tags.php that has the correction already applied.
