Oh good. Thank YOU !

Quick note: no image at the link you provided.

For now, shall I:
A) leave it “as is” for you to test (no problem if so) ?
or
B) make your/my prior code edits (so that it displays properly in the meantime) ?

Thanks,

John

B) make your/my prior code edits (so that it displays properly in the meantime) ?

You can make the changes, we’ll test things on one of our test installs, thank you!

Hi Jeremy,

Just upgraded from 3.3 to 3.3.2.

I’m still seeing the problem in the middle of excerpts: when an ‘&’ is used within the excerpt, it is displayed as ‘&’

See: https://lelacappelle.com/beyond-the-snow-covered-lakefront-cottages/

Then hover over the Holiday Card and note the issue: ‘… as you can see it’s warm & inviting…’ It’s happening on other hover/excerpts too.

Looking back at this thread, we tried re-indexing but it didn’t help before.

I won’t re-index or make any changes until I hear back from you so that you can see/document the issue.

Thanks!

John

…Sorry… wherever you see an ‘&’ in my prior post, it should have shown ‘&amps;’ ??

Yes, we haven’t fixed that yet: you can follow our progress here:

Thanks Jeremy.

I went ahead and made the former changes you recommended and it appears to be working:

IN:
jetpack/modules/related-posts/jetpack-related-posts.php

CHANGED:
‘excerpt’ => $this->_to_utf8( $this->_get_excerpt( $post->post_excerpt, $post->post_content ) ),

TO THIS:
‘excerpt’ => html_entity_decode($this->_to_utf8( $this->_get_excerpt( $post->post_excerpt,
$post->post_content ) ),ENT_QUOTES, ‘UTF-8’ ),

Hey There,

Was this issue resolved in version 3.5 ?

Thanks,

John

No, not yet. The issue is still opened. I asked our Related Posts expert to take another look.

Thanks Jeremy. It’s one of those little things I have to manually change each time JetPack is updated. It will be nice when the fix is folded into JetPack.

Hi Jeremy,

I’ve been following your progress at GitHub… very cool !

Do you anticipate it being folded into version 3.5.4 or 3.6?

Thanks,

John

Do you anticipate it being folded into version 3.5.4 or 3.6?

It will be shipped in 3.6, scheduled to be released in a few weeks.
