    Hi there,

    Is it possible to return META DATA stored in database as Plain text? I am doing: get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘title_tag’, true);

    but hyphens and quote marks are getting ASCIFIED ??

  • Perhaps if you post your snippet of code (or use pastebin if more than 10 lines), we can offer some insight. It is a little odd that the text is getting encoded. The quote marks should be escaped but that is easily undone on output.

    <title><?php
    if(get_post_meta($post->ID, 'title_tag', true)){
        echo wp_title();
        bloginfo( 'name' );
    }else{
        echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'title_tag', true);
    }
?></title>

    returns

    <title> ? DawnClassic and Vintage Wedding Cars</title>

    P.S now i have posted it here.. why does the &raquo come up.. thats the problem. haha. goodness me.

    Meh, i’ve removed it now. it was wp_title(); and its pointless.
