Regards to the “apostrophe issue” – I understood what you did to encounter the problem (from your original post) and as I told you I tried to reproduce it on three different computers one of which I set up specifically for your case with PHP 5.3 and WordPress 4.7. But I can’t reproduce the problem. I am doing what you have done and I see “Kurt’s Beer challenge” without apostrophe anywhere (both on the admin dashboard and on the betpress_bettings shortcode page). So as I told you – my guess is that it is something on your environment, most probably conflict with another plugin. I gave you instructions how to find out if there is conflict or not. Did you try these?
Regards to your question – again, as I told you, I can’t understand the question so I am unable to answer it. Would you mind to explain it in more details?
Regards to your claim that I am “fobbing you off” and “quickly turn-over forum posts” I am sorry to see you felt that way. I have no reason to do such thing – if I don’t want to provide support, I just won’t bother visiting the forum, nothing is forcing me the provide support, I am just trying to help. But please note that sometimes it is hard to reproduce problems as what is this case here so I am unable to give you direct solution without experiencing the problem first. Just to let you know that I spent 30-60 minutes doing my best to reproduce your problem but I just couldn’t, even when I set up an environment which is close to the server that is running your website. So I would need your help, too, in order to find what’s causing your problem. If you don’t want to bother further and just need this solved, the only way is to give me access to your server and admin dashboard so I can investigate it further but that is something that is considered bad idea and is highly not recommended (to give your server’s credentials to other people)
