 * Just got a blank link title and I found out that this happens when the link title
   contains an apostrophe.

 * Sorry, it’s not online.
 * Try for example to add
 * [http://blogs.hbr.org/2007/03/why-enterprise-20-wont-transfo/](http://blogs.hbr.org/2007/03/why-enterprise-20-wont-transfo/)
 * The title of the link which will not show up is
 * “Why Enterprise 2.0 Won’t Transform Organizations”
 * because of the apostrophe in “won’t”. The sourcecode is
 * `<div class="bpfb_link_preview_title"></div>`
 * To confirm that the reason for the title not to show up is the apostrophe in 
   the title I tried to add one of my posts with and without an apostrophe.
 * I guess the apostrophe breaks the code

 * Hi [@borisj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/borisj/),
 * Thank you for your detailed reply.
 * I could reproduce the same issue on my test site using latest version of BuddyPress
   Activity Plus plugin so i have notified the plugin developer to fix it in the
   plugin.
 * In the meanwhile to fix this issue you can make the below changes in the following
   BuddyPress Activity Plus plugin file on line number 39.
 * **BuddyPress Activity Plus plugin file:**
    buddypress-activity-plus\lib\class_bpfb_codec.
   php
 * **Before Editing:**
 *     ```
       return "[bpfb_link url='${url}' title='{$title}' image='{$image}']{$body}[/bpfb_link]";
       ```
   
 * **After Editing:**
 *     ```
       return "[bpfb_link url='${url}' title='".esc_attr($title)."' image='{$image}']{$body}[/bpfb_link]";
       ```
   
 * **Note:** You are making changes in the plugin file and these changes will be
   overwritten and lost when you update the plugin and you will have to make these
   again after plugin updation.
 * Best Regards,
    WPMU DEV
