Escaped HTML Entities in comments?

    Hi!

    I’m testing out Blogger Importer Extended, and so far I’m impressed. Thank you for your good work!

    I did notice one thing that isn’t working how I’d expect.

    On my Blogger blog, I have a comment with the following text:

    I'd be interested, especially in "Till We Have Faces."

    On the imported post, this comment looks like:

    
I'd be interested, especially in "Till We Have Faces."

    If I view the raw text of the comment in the “Comments” pane of WordPress Admin, I see (underscores to prevent the comment form from eating my entities:

    
I&_amp;#39;d be interested, especially in &_amp;quot;Till We Have Faces.&_amp;quot;

    My suspicion is that something is translating ‘&’ to ‘&_amp;’ an extra time somewhere along the line.

    Cheers,
    Sam

    Hi @smussmann,

    Thanks for getting in touch about this! It looks like the filter used to mitigate spam comments was a little too aggressive. This has been fixed in the latest version now. Please uninstall the plugin and re-install from scratch, then try the import once more.

    You should first delete the posts which have been imported (you can use this plugin if there are a lot). Let me know if that’s working as you’d hoped now.

    Thanks,

    Phil
