* Why does `"Hello"` end up looking as `&# 8220;Hello&# 8221;` (had to add spaces
to avoid HTML rendering) when using the `{POST_EXCERPT}` tag?
I think it started
happening recently.

* we are now applying all filters on output before sending to social media
if
output is broken it has to be some filter from theme messing the content
* you can confirm this by testing after setting deafult theme of wp

* we shall do in next version
for time being you may remove following lines from
admin/publish.php
* $content = apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content);
$excerpt = apply_filters(‘
the_excerpt’, $excerpt); $name = apply_filters(‘the_title’, $name);
