 * Hi
    Great plugin, but with the latest update something happened. I can no longer
   make First Name to a link like this [](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/first-name-link/index.php/abraham-lincoln-quotes/?output_format=md)–
   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](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/first-name-link/index.php/authors/abraham-lincoln-quotes/?output_format=md)
   as you can in this image [http://quotesopedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Quotes-llama.jpg](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.

 * 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](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!
