   Hi,
   I have a weird problem where I'm trying to pass GET variables in a redirect URL - e.g. mywebsite.com?name=fred&age=35&location=london - but for some reason the & symbols are replaced by &#038; in the URL - which of course doesn't work.

   I can fix this by commenting out the following line (85) from the formatting.php file:
   $curl = preg_replace('/&([^#])(?![a-zA-Z1-4]{1,8};)/', '&#038;$1', $curl);

   But - my question is - what else does this line/wptexturize affect? Is this going to muck up my use of & symbols across the whole site?

   Thanks in advance!
   Jon

   Sorry for the weird code formatting by the way, but if I write &#038; in one line it turns into an &!

   A bit of a wildshot but have you tried this in functions.php?

   remove_action('wp_redirect','wptexturize');

   Thanks - will try that - using GravityForms, so not sure if that used wp_redirect....

   What did you figure out on this issue? all my & are replaced with & in all my affiliate links thus making them not track to me..

   Thanks..
