* I really like this plugin, which worked fine until now, but I just realised that
with one of the latest updates (WordPress, my theme, or the plugin) in some instances
code is displayed instead of the correct line break.
* See [http://robotography.de/2019/05/26/saintagnes/](http://robotography.de/2019/05/26/saintagnes/)
for the error, while the split still works fine in the posts overview page: [http://robotography.de/news/](http://robotography.de/news/)
* Thanks in advance for any help and greetings from Germany,

* Hi Rolf,
* Nice to meet you and greetings from Canada, your site shows off your great photography
skills with the showing of your awesome photos.
* Unfortunately I think this is issue is caused by your theme update. I tested
the titles on my site and was not able to duplicate with running the latest versions
of each of the items. I am assuming it is the theme by looking at the source
code of the post and pages on your site and it looks to be encoding the special
characters of the page title.
* This can be checked by going into theme editor and checking the code of the index.
php file, the title is about midway through the code and under the html comment“
Begin content”.
* I will keep testing but let me know if you have any questions.
* Thank you,
Chris

* Hi Chris,
* thanks for your quick answer and your kind remarks about my site. I had a look
at the page source and see what you mean. While the overview page has the correct
reference to your class
* title=”New Gallery “Into The Trees””>New Gallery ”Into The Trees”
* the problematic page for some unknown reason seems to escape the characters and
hence displays them verbatim instead of executing the code:
* `
New Gallery "Saint Agnes Street
Shots"
* I also inspected the index.php page, but unfortunately it isn’t as explicit as
one might hope. There is a reference to class “post_quote_title” which could
be the culprit, but I need to take a deeper dive to understand better where it
is defined.
* I’ll contact the developer of the theme if I’m certain where the error comes
from.
* Many thanks again for your support, highly appreciated, keep up the good work!
* Best wishes,
Rolf

* Funny. I can’t seem to get this page to correctly display the escaped html as
it seems to replace everything immediately, so that both code snippets look identical,
but I’m sure you know what I mean…

* Hi Rolf,
* Your welcome and thank you for asking the developer of the theme and hopefully
they will be helpful and let you know if that page title is being encoded or
not.
* For the page that you can’t get to display the escaped html, what page is that
happening on?
* Thank you,
Chris

* Hi Chris,
* with my comment above I just meant the support forum page right here where I
pasted the critical code and it just replaces the escaped code back when displaying
the page.
* Anyway, back to the problem itself: Unfortunately, I realised that my support
on Themeforest for the theme has run out, so I would have to pay nearly the same
amount again to contact the developer. As this has not proved too helpful in
the past, I decided against it and had a dive into the sources myself.
* In the template-post-header.php I found the code for for displaying the post
title as
* `
* and surprise, surprise, after replacing it with
* `
* the splitter works like a charm again.
* Now, editing this in the themes source doesn’t seem like the brightest of ideas
as it will get overridden again with the next update (surprisingly I can still
download these although being out of support), but I already have derived a child
theme for other purposes, so now I only need to find the right place for changing
the template code there and keep my fingers crossed that it doesn’t have any
unwanted side effects.
* Thought I’d let you know that it really had nothing to do with your excellent
plugin.
* Kind regards,
R.

* Hi Rolf,
* I am glad you were able to find and solve the issue in the theme files and that’s
good that you are able to still download updates to the theme. If they just added
that to the theme then maybe they will remove it in the next update, especially
since that function is only used for only the one page title and not all.
* Thank you for your kind words about the plugin and keep up with the great photography.
* Thank you,
Chris
