    Hi
    Great plugin, but with the latest update something happened. I can no longer make First Name to a link like this – Abraham Lincoln two quotation marks gets added and corrupt the link. It links to “index.php/abraham-lincoln-quotes” instead for index.php/abraham-lincoln-quotes
    How can I remove those two quotation marks in my First Name link?
    Thanks in advance.

    Could you please provide a url to the example you are speaking of so I can get a better idea of what is going on? Linking directly to a quote, let alone an authors first name, is not something this plugin is capable of yet, at least I thought so, Thanks.

    You have the strangest setup I have yet to see. I really like your site!

    To start me off I have a few questions:
    1. Have you edited the plugin code and made changes to it?
    2. Are you entering the authors first or last name as a hyperlink instead of plain text? For example: <a href=
    3. Are you running the latest version 0.6.3?

    Am I correct that you are only using my plugin in your widget area? The rest seems to be hard-coded. Thanks!

    1. I have not.
    2. Authors first name – Abraham Lincoln as you can in this image http://quotesopedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Quotes-llama.jpg
    3- Yes I am.

    Yes, I am only using your plugin in my widget area. And this “set up” 😉 I’m using have worked before this plugin got updated. Thanks for your interest in my problem.

    I’d not tried linking a quote that way yet. It even sparks the idea of having another table to hold profile information to have a page like yours built dynamically… but then, things to work out first.

    I’ll get this issue working soon and supported further if needed. I can reproduce what you are seeing so I have that advantage here. I have other escape issues I am unable to reproduce and think perhaps you have provided a clue into solving those as well. Thanks for the responsive reply! I’ll let you know.

    Okay great.

    I think I’ve made some good progress. Handling HTML within a text string has brought up a few other issues, like if you try to edit your Abraham Lincoln quote it just trashes the data in the form fields (don’t save it that way). I have that working too now in the next update.

    I think I am about ready to upload it, but just want to test and think about it some more. Perhaps tomorrow.

    If you are interested ( http://oooorgle.com/testing ) check out the test site. It is setup for your example atm. I don’t have an Abraham Lincoln page so it just hits a 404. I am having issue still on the page view (which I know you don’t use). Overall I think the issue you are having is worked out. Let me know if the widget section at least looks correct? Thanks!
