Title: doesn't work with apostrophe Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # doesn't work with apostrophe * Resolved [jabcka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jabcka/) * (@jabcka) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-apostrophe/) * Hi Thanks for the plugin. When using with apostrophe [note]Prof’ John Adams[/ note] I get only: Prof Is there an easy way to sort this out so non coders editors will handle the plugin (Not using & #39;)? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-footnotes/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-footnotes/) Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [Jason Yingling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingling017/) * (@yingling017) * [9 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-apostrophe/#post-7431254) * That’s quite odd. The plugin should work fine with the apostrophe character. I’ve tested it some on my own site. Could you give me a little more info on how you’re entering content? Are you using the default WordPress content editor? Do you have any other plugins active that are adding items to your post content? That could be things like social sharing plugins that add social links above or below content. Are you using a theme builder of any kind like Divi or Visual Composer? * I’ll delve into the code a little too and see if there’s anything I could add to escape those characters and return them properly to hopefully prevent interference from other plugins too. You’re best bet may be to deactivate other plugins one by one and see if it renders properly to determine if there is a conflict. Not ideal, I know, but it helps me pinpoint what could be causing the issue. * [ddorda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ddorda/) * (@ddorda) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-apostrophe/#post-8545201) * I had the same problem so I made a fix: change line 76 from this: `$footnoteContent = "$this->footnoteCount";` * to this: `$footnoteContent = " $this->footnoteCount";` * hope it would help someone 🙂 * Plugin Author [Jason Yingling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yingling017/) * (@yingling017) * [9 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/doesnt-work-with-apostrophe/#post-8667103) * I implemented your htmlspecialchars fix in the latest version.
