# Plugin breaks ‘wptexturize’ functionality

 * Hi,
 * the plugin seems to break the functionality of wptexturize(). I noticed on my
   German websites that quote marks are not being converted to language specific
   versions if the plugin is activated. This is true for all fields where I speficically
   use wptexturize() (“the_title”, “the_content”, custom fields).
 * WP Version: 5.0.2
 * Kind Regards
    Stefan

 * Hi,
 * Please make sure the Hits in single page option in setting page is disabled.
 * It may some plugin have effects to some hooks.

 * Thanks, but the option was already disabled. It must be something else.

 * I just tested it on a site with no other plugins installed than WP Statistics
   and running the Twenty Seventeen theme. The problem persists.

 * It’s very strange because we don’t use any hooks related to `wptexturize`.
 * Do you have any custom hook in your functions.php?

 * No, on this test site there’s nothing custom at all. Fresh WP install, no other
   plugins, just the default theme, typical web hosting (SiteGround). Now also tried
   the new default theme, Twenty Nineteen. The problem remains.

 * Please enable `WP_DEBUG` in your WordPress to see the current error.

 * There’s no related error showing with WP_DEBUG enabled. In the meantime, I had
   to finish up the project and hand it over to the client. As a solution I decided
   on using str_replace() instead of relying on wptexturize() to achieve localized
   quote marks, which works reasonably well.
 * Thanks a lot for your time and help!
