British Pounds symbol has a space after it

Hey mattk1980,

I’m testing here in a fresh WP install and I can’t replicate the issue.

Are you using any plugins to extend the main editor functionality? Something like TinyMCE?

Hiya, no nothing. It’s done this on every install of pods for me.

Matt, can u please share your site / blog where you are facing this issue? Also if you could let us know about any plugins you may be using.

i’ve had various different installs, all with different plugins and it always does this.

This has a lot of plugins going on:

Akismet
Version 3.1.10

Insert PHP
Version 1.3

LayerSlider WP
Version 5.6.2

Limit Login Attempts
Version 1.7.1

Pods – Custom Content Types and Fields
Version 2.6.2

Redirection
Version 2.4.4

WP Print Friendly
Version 0.6.1

WPBakery Visual Composer
Version 4.11.2.1

Yoast SEO
Version 3.1.2

Try to disable Visual Composer… just to test. It might be a bug with this plugin

I think this line of code is the problem in the pods plugin:

file: pods/classes/fields/currency.php:310 to line 317

// Currency placement policy
		// Single sign currencies: 100$, ?￡100
		// Multiple sign currencies: 100 Fr, Kr 100
		$currency_gap = '';

		if ( strlen( $currency_sign ) > 1 ) {
			$currency_gap = ' ';
		}

If its reading the British pounds symbol as ?￡ this counts as 2 characters therefore the logic is adding a gap.

Why you aren’t seeing this problem is strange as it looks like its the coding of the plugin.

Hey mattk1980,

I tested the Pods plugin and I don’t see any problems. It’s very strange.

Try to disable the plugin and create a new post/page with the ￡ symbol to see if it works. But the plugin uses the same default text editor from WP. So it shouldn’t be a problem.
