Dollar sign in title causes dropped characters

  • A post’s title has the word “$5,000” in it. The dollar sign and numeral 5 disappear in the APL listing, so it only shows “,000”.

    The dollar sign is a unique character for PHP, and could be the cause of the issue.

    A possible workaround could be to use HTML Codes for characters. Try using & # 036; (no spaces) instead.

    Using the html code in the title worked to solve the problem in APL, but the code showed as a literal in the title of the post.

    I found the tutorial on how to create a custom php_function shortcode, so I created one to change dollar signs to the html code. Works great.
