I've searched all over & there doesn't seem to be any good answers anywhere so i am wondering what everyone does..?
Do you all just edit each post, or is the answer out there, but hard to find.?

To fix this issue:

’ = '
“ = "
” = "
• =

this dot

Taken from 3.6 thread..

// this removes <whatever> tags from showing in the calendar event
$eventinfo['event'] = preg_replace('/&lt;.*&gt;/iU', '', $eventinfo['event']);

Note that this code does not modify entries in the database table but instead affects what is shown on screen for the calendar event.

Would this same code or something similar work to fix the same problem from RSS feeds into regular posts.?

I don't think I've never seen this issue come up on my site so it's never been an issue thus I don't do anything about it. You can always try the fix and see if it works.

I'm scared.. lol
The code is for the calendar, so im guessing it would need some editing, & i dont know enough to attempt that.

But if you do a search for ’ you will find a few threads of others asking about it.

I'm sure there are many more threads, but just not with that text in it.

Lynne, do you use RSS feeds.?
And if so, you dont ever have this issue.?

Just three or four, but I have never noticed this issue, no. However, I also don't look at the rss posts all the time, but none of my users have said anything about the issue either.

Hmm.. Interesting. I wonder what causes it.

So, any idea on where i would add this code to try it out.?

Maybe in the "Body Template" of the RSS feed.?
or...?

Also found this on vB.com

The RSS Feed itself http://www.example.com/feed?cat=9... seems to show the apostrophe as an apostrophe.

So, since the feed itself look good and it looks good in WordPress, the problem seems to be with vBulletin reading the feed.
