Sorry, it’s not online.

Try for example to add

https://blogs.hbr.org/2007/03/why-enterprise-20-wont-transfo/

The title of the link which will not show up is

“Why Enterprise 2.0 Won’t Transform Organizations”

because of the apostrophe in “won’t”. The sourcecode is

<div class="bpfb_link_preview_title"></div>

To confirm that the reason for the title not to show up is the apostrophe in the title I tried to add one of my posts with and without an apostrophe.

I guess the apostrophe breaks the code

Hi @borisj,

Thank you for your detailed reply.

I could reproduce the same issue on my test site using latest version of BuddyPress Activity Plus plugin so i have notified the plugin developer to fix it in the plugin.

In the meanwhile to fix this issue you can make the below changes in the following BuddyPress Activity Plus plugin file on line number 39.

BuddyPress Activity Plus plugin file:
buddypress-activity-plus\lib\class_bpfb_codec.php

Before Editing:

return "[bpfb_link url='${url}' title='{$title}' image='{$image}']{$body}[/bpfb_link]";

After Editing:

return "[bpfb_link url='${url}' title='".esc_attr($title)."' image='{$image}']{$body}[/bpfb_link]";

Note: You are making changes in the plugin file and these changes will be overwritten and lost when you update the plugin and you will have to make these again after plugin updation.
