Plugin gurus please have a look at my site: http://www.wpwebdesignmadesimple.com/wordpress/?page_id=185.
Then, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the details button of the car. Notice the funky characters under “Description”?

Is this is filter issue? What do I need to do to display the text properly from the database?

Those are HTML special characters

seems like something is parchasing somewhere, using PHP functions

htmlentities()
htmlspecialchars()

So, htmlspecialchars_decode() should do the trick?

Yes, you can try that. It depends where it is encoded/decoded. Maybe it’s the theme or from functions.php using hook for the_content, something like

add_filter( 'the_content', 'filter_function_name' );

I had my own function to clean the data prior to input to the database. One of them was htmlspecialchars() which was responsible for adding the characters (WP requires the data to be raw). I simply commented out the function and no more htmlspecialchars() are displayed in the “Description”.

Thank You!
