[Closed] Tick mark being replaced with special character

galos · 2022-04-20T17:16:09Z

While copying and pasting text into a forum topic, every time there is a new paragraph or tick mark, it is replaced with a special character (looks like the letter "a" with a carrot on top of it). I've even tried to copy it to a straight text file and then copy it back out so there's no special characters and it stays. In fact, when I edit the post by hand and replace the special "a" character with a tick mark, wpForo replaces my tick mark with a second special "a" character (Â). Why is it doing this and how can we use tick marks? (for example: can't would be replaced with "canÂt")

@Robert here is a screenshot of when I do the exact same test from the exact same texteditor on my system to our forum (see attached). Notice the apostrophe, what happens.

@galos,

I'm sorry, but I have no idea why your website has such issue with apostrophe. This is something very strange. The last thing I can recommend is disabling all plugins and testing it again. If it doesn't help, try to switch the current active WordPress theme to another theme, this could be theme issues as well.

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.
