 * Just tried the Duplicator. On restore, it threw two database errors, similar 
   to this:
 *     ```
       **ERROR** database error write 'You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '&nbsp;", "Test Hidden", "", "inherit", "open", "open", "", "22-autosave", "", ""' at line 1' - [sql=
       &nbsp;", "Test Hidden", "", "inherit", "open", "open", "", "22-autosave", ...]
       ```
   
 * I checked, and indeed the “posts” table does contain instances of `&nbsp;` in
   the posts. Both the errors mentioned the nbsp..
 * This should not give a problem surely?
 * Note: I had ticked the “fix non breaking space characters” option in the restore
   menu.
