How does this handle encoded titles?

Hi Kelicia,

Sorry for the delay in responding. At the moment it will only work with exact match title (ie it won’t take the variations into account).

If you can give me a couple of example titles you want to match, I can look into how much work it would be to add that as a parameter.

I think it would be a great feature for the plugin. If it’s relatively quick to add, I can do it in the next week or two. If it turns out to be a bigger job, I’ll have to schedule it and it could be a while before it’s done.

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks for responding and your willingness to help Stephen!

Here are some sample titles:

Theatre Arts to perform & quot;How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying& quot;
Theatre Arts to perform "How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying"

Graduate School Dean& #039;s Lecture Series is March 9-10
Graduate School Dean's Lecture Series is March 9-10

(Remove the spaces after the ampersands…)

The articles have the same meta data (time, author, etc) except slugs of course. (The unencoded article has a -2 slug)

I assume some old plugin did this automatically or it is a remnant from a really old version of WordPress. It could also have something to do with accidentally moving trash items from old blog into the new one. Regardless it’s a problem we need to deal with now and I think a plugin like yours could make the process much easier on us!

EDIT: It keeps automatically converting the encoded symbols.

Hi Kelicia,

Sorry, I’m really busy at the moment, but I’ll try to look at this over the next week or so. Hopefully I can compe up with something, but I’ll let you know.

Chers,
Stephen
