 * I searched but I didn’t find anything helpful.
    When I post a new entry, I won’t
   get a ” but only a “. There are more things like that. I don’t want to have
   my posts filtered. How can I switch this filter off?
 * Thanks for your help

 * The other two posts have been removed.
 * When you say “more things like that”, can you be more specific ? Help will otherwise
   be vague.

 * Sorry, no more things like that.
    Thanks for deleting the other posts.
 * Why is that filtered? I see no reason to filter inputs. Anyway, it would be better
   to have an option to disable this filter.
 * How can I get my ” instead of “ and a ‘ instead of ’ in the future?

 * In your plugins page in the admin site, disable Markdown and/or textile 1 and/
   or textile 2

 * Seems, that no one can help me. That’s very poor… this is the “WordPress Support”,
   isn’t it?

    Please [read this post](http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=25473).
   Some things to note:
    - We’re all volunteers.
    - Nobody owes you anything.
    - Having an attitude makes it much less likely that people want to help you.
    - Specifying no url makes it hard to help you.
    - Patience is a virtue.

 * Filtering is a very powerful tool in WordPress. If you don’t like this one particular
   filter in WordPress, fine, but please realize that your site would not even function
   without a lot of behind the scenes WordPress filtering.
 * That said, to remove this one filter:
    If you’re using WordPress version 1.2.
   x or lower, check out [this explanation](http://www.scriptygoddess.com/archives/2004/06/14/removing-curly-quotes/).
 * For 1.5, see the same link, but instead of `wp-includes/vars.php` edit the file`
   wp-includes/default-filters.php`.
 * Note that this will also stop the filtering of a couple other special characters
   like ellipses, trademarks, etc.
 * Oh – and don’t be such an ass.

 * Yes, baby, that works!
 * Thank you very much and excuse me for being such an ass. I really respect your
   work. I just hoped to get some useful reaction, if I write some nasty things.
 * For those who have the same problem:
    #add_filter(‘the_title’, ‘wptexturize’);#
   add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘wptexturize’);
 * Thanks again & bye 🙂
