Hello, in the select field, I have words like Men’s Football.However, on the frontend the “Men’s” shows as Men\’s with backslash

Please can you help fix this?

Thank you

You are using a curly single quote.

’ = no
‘ = yes

Try to copy this and replace what you are using now:
```
'
```
Let me know how it goes.

Thanks,

Apologies for the typo in my message; I used the correct quote. Here is the link to that

Sorry, I just tested and you are right, I asked the developers to fix the output.

The quickest fix for you now is to use the htmlspecialchars instead.
```
&apos; = '
```
This will work while we fix it…
