# Single quote problem

 * Tooltip terms with a single quote do not work (plugin version 3.3.6).
 * Replacing
    `$normalizedTitle = str_replace( ''', "’", preg_quote( htmlspecialchars(
   trim( $title ), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' ), '/' ) );` by `$normalizedTitle = preg_quote(
   htmlspecialchars( trim( $title ), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8' ), '/' );`
 * and
    `$glossary_title = str_replace( ''', '’', preg_quote( htmlspecialchars( 
   trim( $glossary_item->post_title ), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' ), '/' ) );` by `$glossary_title
   = preg_quote( htmlspecialchars( trim( $glossary_item->post_title ), ENT_COMPAT,'
   UTF-8' ), '/' );`
 * fixed the problem. I understand the code was supposed to change single quote ‘
   to ’. Why is it so?

 * Hi gigapec,
 * Thanks for this valuable input!
 * This code was required to solve the problems that one of our French users had.
   I’ll dig out his case and test both solutions against it, and figure out the 
   solution to the problem.
 * ps. Could you share more information about your case? What’s the term and where
   it doesn’t work?

 * Hello,
 * Two terms were not working : “artif’” and “terrain d’aventure”.
 * The problem is that the current code changes ‘ to ´ but not everywhere. You could
   either not change it (the patch I wrote above) or change it everywhere (one line
   needs to be changed if I recall correctly).
 * I would prefer not to change ‘ to ´ to be consistent with non-glossary words.
 * I’d be curious to know more about the bug this fixes.

 * I also experienced same problem with the French somewhere on the page it might
   work (words with apostrophes) sometimes it doesn’t.

 * Whops, I had it wrong!
 * I just understood why you had this code in the first place. WordPress actually
   replaces single quotes to `’`, hence the original code was needed.
 * My problem is that I use Page Builder plugin which disables the single quote 
   to ’.

 * How to make a single entry with **s’est trompée** ?
    **s’est trompée** is not
   detected by the plugin. The entry is created and working in index page. But the
   instances not detected in posts and pages.
