Comments on: Wordpress, Stop Changing My Quotes!

I wish I’d been aware of this before–as texturize was causing my RSS feeds to come out strange-looking.

So, thanks for helping me fix that.

I have another question about single quotes though, if anyone knows more than I do:

On my site (http://www.runhundred.com) the search works fine–for the most part.

But, if anyone searches for a post with a single quote/apostrophe (like Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner) the search not only fails to find the post, but also gets this error:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource

Any ideas on how to fix this?

This is great information. Unfortunately it may not work on a theme that uses Cufon font replacement such as Woo’s Bueno theme.

Thank you so much for posting this. Smart quotes have prevented me from submitting sponsored blog entries to certain websites, due to the auto-check thing coming to a screeching halt because the regular quotes are gone (since WP converted them into smart quotes). Your fix worked perfectly.

Great information. Two little lines of code solved the problem.

Thank you!

Thanks for sharing.

I initially had content smart quotes off, but later I realized that I had the same problem else where, like title, comments etc. Your post was helpful in that regard.

You’re welcome!

That’s what this site is for, helping people out. Most my posts are created based on my own problems that I eventually solved.
