 * I’m getting weird html entities in posts when my feed content has accented character.
   For example à results in ã (&atilde, which is not even the correct entity) in
   my posts. How can i fix it?

 * That isn’t a problem with the plugin, it’s coming from the feed itself. I use
   a plugin called “Search & Replace” to fix issues coming from feeds.

 * No, it’s a plugin problem because I tried 4-5 other plugins with the same purpose
   and they all didn’t have this problem.

 * Are you facing this with all your feed links, and every item in that feeds, or
   some of some?

 * I have only 1 feed and yes it does the same thing for each item in that feed.
   Before uninstalling this plugin (I had to, meanwhile I’m using WPeMatico which
   is working good) I noticed it was actually not the same wrong characted every
   time, but each accented one had it’s own wrong replace. Also I noticed it was
   not the standard weird characted u usally get when there is an encoding problem,
   i never seen accented chars replaced with those in case of encoding mismatch.

 * copy your html encoded text, from your blog and paste it to [one of these online HTML decoders](https://www.google.com/search?q=online+html+decoder)
   to find the exact, decoded text.I think you have something other than ALFANUMMERC
   ASCII chars, in your text.
    Let me know if thats the case.
