Fixed the apostrophe problem. It’s the classic WP problem involving the texturizer functions. You can fix it easily by editing your functions.php file. Add the following code to the end of your function.php and save it. All your punctuation marks that are adding extra spaces after them will vanish.
remove_filter ('single_post_title', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter ('bloginfo', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter ('wp_title', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter ('category_description', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter ('list_cats', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter ('comment_author', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter ('comment_text', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter ('the_title', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter ('the_content', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter ('the_excerpt', 'wptexturize');
