 * Using your fantastic Q&A pages, love it. Going to buy premium very soon. However,
   since last update ‘m getting:
   “Bad escape sequence in string” errors in Google
   Search Console. The issue seems to be that your plugin started adding a / after
   every ‘, example:
 * ‘there aren’t any’ becomes ‘there aren\’t any’ in the code that is seen in Google,
   although I did not manually add the /. 
   Are you aware of this issue? It breaks
   the functionality and rich snippets stop appearing (which the point of all this).
   I thought I let you know.Sincerely,Simon
