Hi Team,

I am using this plugin from a few months and from the last three months, I am facing a double hyphen problem in content with this plugin.

I also found a similar topic on Google here it is: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/17633/single-dash-converted-to-double-dash

The double dash in the content is Automatically creating through the Wp Lyte plugin filter.

I found the function in the .php file of this plugin which is creating this problem.

Here is the function: the_content

Check this link for an example: https://bit.ly/2VWdnW8 of the double dash.

When I am typing single – at the backend through the editor, then a single dash is automatically converting into the double dash at the front end.

When I disabled the Wp Lyte plugin then the dash problem gets automatically fixed.

Please do check the code problem in the plugin and fix the issue as soon as possible.

Due to this error, the Table of the content plugin also not able to show the content in the articles.

Please have a look at it and reply to this thread for any query.

Don’t you have any fix for this?

I don’t want to disable it, as it is a great plugin but you said it is a known issue, but no fix yet.

Should I Deactivate this plugin?

no fix yet, no. if blocking for you then indeed you’ll have to disable it I’m afraid.

I used this code in the single.php file of my child theme to stop any functions from the code in wptexturize doing anything. You should read more about what it does before implementing it though https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/wptexturize/

/* Stops single dashes – being turned into double dashes — */
remove_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_content’, ‘wptexturize’ );
remove_filter( ‘the_excerpt’, ‘wptexturize’ );

I assumed this was from this plugin but glad it’s confirmed and being worked on 🙂

So I -finally- have a potential fix ready on Github that needs testing; please download https://github.com/futtta/wp-youtube-lyte/archive/master.zip and install instead of the current version, all feedback welcomed! 🙂

Thanks for confirming Suraj, I’ll release this as an update soon (I’m waiting on my laptop to be repaired, working on my daughter’s computer now which does not have my developer stuff installed).
