Ampersand in post title

  • I have MailPoet set up to automatically send an email when a new post is published. The most recent post has an ampersand & in the post title. In the subject line of the email, this comes across as the HTML entity, & (for example, Fun & Games). I would prefer that it show as the ampersand character (Fun & Games), as it does in the post, and in the title inside the email.

    Is this something you can fix, or something I have to work around?

    Thanks,
    Karen

    Not sure how to get the HTML entity to show up. It’s what you’d get if you remove the hyphens from this sequence of characters.
    &-a-m-p-;

    The subject line I’m getting is:
    Fun &-a-m-p-; Games
    (but remove the hyphens)

    And what I want is:
    Fun & Games

    There are some errors related to special characters that won’t be fixed in the current version 2.x

    I suggest you to use the word “and” on your Newsletter titles to avoid these issues.
