Wordpress is replacing x's in articles by ×'s.. How do I stop it? (2 posts)

    Hello,

    We are running Wordpress at //spreadopenmedia.org

    Because we want people to link back to us, we are providing them banners to do so. Users only have to copy+paste the code from textarea's.

    The problem is that those images whose name have an x in the middle to represent widthxheight are being changed! Wordpress perhaps thinks we are trying to do math. Really, I don't know, but I need to stop this behavior or half the banners will lead to a 404.

    What exactly happens is that inside a textarea, there's code. Wordpress sees a x between two numbers and replaces it with a × after posting. What file can I edit to stop this silly behavior?

    Place the links inside <code> tags or use the code button on your editor.
