morse code text issue

    Have a strange issue inserting morse code text into Elucidate. When customizing any text within Elucidate the correct syntax for a morse code text is viewed when edited.
    ie:
    .-.. — …- .

    however after accepting the changes it is converted to:

    .-.. — …- .

    the three dashes are converted to a bar and the formatting of three dots in a row is also altered, thus returning an error when converting morse code to text. Have tried various options without any success.

    It should be:
    .-..
    —
    …-
    .

    Fail to see how to resolve this issue with my favorite theme… Elucidate. Using a child theme for customization.

    TIA

    Hello, I think this is a general WordPress issue. In any posts WordPress automatically replaces a number of characters for you ( for example (c) becomes ? ). Usually this is a helpful feature, but in this situation I can see how it has become a problem. I’ll see if I can find a good way to disable this later, but you will probably get a faster answer if you ask on the general support forum.

    Chrisdc1,

    Thank you for your kind reply. I was unaware of the WP auto-correction function. Will investigate into how to customise if possible and if there is a plugin that facilitates this option. Thank you.

    The only way I can see to do this right now is to disable the replacement altogether. I’m afraid I haven’t had time to test this, but try adding the code shown here to your child theme’s functions.php

    Solved by commenting out all lines 98-99, 176-182 and 268-270 in the file formatting.php in the wp-includes folder.
