    At posts all special characters like the ampersand (&) are automatically converted (to & #038; for the ampersand).

    I want to disable this only for the ampersand. I think I have to make changes in the file: /wordpress/wp-includes/formatting.php
    but I don’t know where exactly.
    Can somebody please tell me how to remove the & from beeing replaced with & #038; ?
    Thanks!

    Why? Are you posting code examples or something?

    I just wanted to insert an jquery code in the post. I used an if clause like
    if (var1 == 1 && b == c) {...}
    but the code doesnt work because in the source code the & is replaced by the code I posted above. thats why my code doesn’t work.

    Using javascript in posts requires special steps. I’d recommend putting the script into an external file and then calling it from the post. See:

    Also make sure that you are only using the html editor since the visual editor ruins pasted code.
