 * If my text in WordPress contains an “&” character (like in for example, “P&O 
   Ports”), then in AppleNews it looks like “P&O Ports”.
 * Could you please advise how to fix this issue.
 * Thank you very much in advance.
 * Kind regards,

 * Hi [@porttoday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/porttoday/)—
 * Have you tried turning on HTML formatting in Settings? Does that change the output?
 * Also, are you on the latest version of the plugin (1.3.0)? We fixed a bug related
   to escaping in article titles that might affect you.
 * If you are still having difficulty, please follow the steps here so I can attempt
   to reproduce locally: [https://github.com/alleyinteractive/apple-news/wiki/usage#getting-help](https://github.com/alleyinteractive/apple-news/wiki/usage#getting-help)
 * Thanks!

 * Thank you, Kevin.
    HTML formatting has solved the problem. Now it works fine!
   Thanks!
