    Hi there

    Just been accepted on to Apple News so excitedly downloaded this plugin to help me start getting my posts over on to the feed. I’m having problems with any text that contains ‘ or ” and also any post that contains a bullet point.

    Any ‘ or ” are automatically turned in to a symbol when published to Apple. If there is a bullet point in any post then when the post transfers to Apple every paragraph is then bulleted.

    Can anybody help?

    Can you please download the JSON for that post and paste it here as code? I can assure you this is not a widespread issue as many sites use all of those characters successfully.

    Thanks.

    Somehow I knew it wouldn’t be a widespread issue. It’s currently happening with any all of the posts on my site so presumably something in my setup. Here’s the JSON for the post I’ve been trying most:

This is a story with much more intrigue and with much higher stakes.\n\nWith \u00e2\u0080\u0098State of Fear\u00e2\u0080\u0099 writer Bryan Hitch tried to full off a story which brought the focus in on the characters but with only two issues to tell the story it came off very flat. \u00e2\u0080\u0098Outbreak\u00e2\u0080\u0099 instead opens in space and only seeks to grow in scale from there.\n\n\u00e2\u0080\u0098Justice League\u00e2\u0080\u0099 works at it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s best when it focusses on its core group of characters and pits them together against a villain of global proportions. Spending too much time focussing on any one member of the group strays off in to territory best suited to that characters solo series. Hitch perfectly balances this issues opening act by focussing on both Cyborg and Batman, the two characters likely to be most affected by the hack. As the virus begins to take over the League systems the story quickly grow to encompass the rest of the team before a splash page climax sure to have readers hanging on for the next issue.\n\nThis feels like a classic \u00e2\u0080\u0098Justice League\u00e2\u0080\u0099 story in the making, the first of this \u00e2\u0080\u0098Rebirth\u00e2\u0080\u0099 era. It\u00e2\u0080\u0099s not that previous arcs have been disappointing, they just haven\u00e2\u0080\u0099t felt like a classic story worthy of these characters. What is also quite interesting is how this story may tie back in to the previous arcs with the death of Diane Palmer. There\u00e2\u0080\u0099s a clear indication that her husband may be to blame for the computer virus but we\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll have to wait for future issues to find out.\n\nFor the time being we get a very action packed issue with some seriously high stakes. When Hitch lets himself go and allows himself to blow the scale up he writes some of his best work. The action sequences as the Watchtower falls to Earth and as Batman\u00e2\u0080\u0099s fleet of vehicles turn on him are written as cinematically as they are drawn. This is certainly a new high in storytelling for the series.\n\nI\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve always been a little critical on the artwork for \u00e2\u0080\u0098Justice League\u00e2\u0080\u0099. This is mainly because it sticks to the industry standard rather than daring to be too unique in its look. This issue is no different. The difference here is that the artwork actually lives up to the story, the scenes of the Watchtower falling to Earth are nicely rendered and the chaos in the Batcave is equally exciting.\n\nThere are some good character models and the spectacle that is this issue is really nicely done. Rather than being content with the look of \u00e2\u0080\u0098Justice League\u00e2\u0080\u0099 #8 I would go as far as to say I\u00e2\u0080\u0099m happy with it.","format":"markdown","textStyle":"dropcapBodyStyle","layout":"body-layout","identifier":"component-5d5b9d3e98e3551dd2b01fec59347771"},{"role":"heading4","text":"Verdict","format":"markdown","textStyle":"default-heading-4","layout":"heading-layout"},{"role":"body","text":"\u00e2\u0080\u0098Justice League\u00e2\u0080\u0099 #8 is some of the best storytelling I\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve read in the series in months.

    Neil,

    Support is provided for free as we have availability. With WordCamp US happening this week, availability is near zero. We’ll get back to you when possible.

    Thanks.

    I think this is possibly related to this issue which we hope to resolve in the next two weeks. We’ll let you know.

    Hi @neilvagg

    I conducted a targeted test of those specific special characters in a vanilla installation of WordPress with the latest version of the plugin, released today (1.2.1) and was not able to reproduce the issue.

    It looks like there may be a problem with character encoding. Publish To Apple News supports Unicode character sequences, such as \u2022 for a bullet point or \u201c as a left angled double quote. Can you confirm that your WordPress installation is set up properly for Unicode character support?

    (@neilvagg)

    Thanks @kevinfodness how would I check this in my installation?

    Hi @neilvagg

    The simplest way is to ensure that your database is set up for UTF8 character support:

    SHOW CREATE TABLE wp_posts

    At the end of the result, you should see DEFAULT CHARSET=X where X is the name of the character set it is using. It should be a derivative of UTF8 (e.g., utf8mb4). If it is set to something else, that could be the cause of the issue.

    Thanks again @kevinfodness I’ve not worked with SQL before so want to make sure I don’t do anything wrong!

    I’ve copied all the code for you in case useful.

    I’ve had this same problem for months and was hoping an update would of fixed this long ago.

    Hopefully you can fix this as our news articles look terrible if we use your plugin.

    I’d be more than happy to pay for this plugin if this was fixed.

    Only time you should use an apostrophe is when you say it’s contraction Also, there is no reason to capitalize documents. App Socio

    Hi @neilvagg

    From what I’m able to gather, it seems increasingly likely that the problem is due to content becoming malformed when being pasted in from another program. Can you confirm that you are able to publish content properly by entering it directly into the WordPress editor instead of copying and pasting from another program (e.g., Word)?
