 * I have seen several times that if a custom taxonomy has “&” in its name, the 
   plugin would sometimes create a second entry with the same name as term. This
   is highly problematic and can be deleted only through manually editing the database,
   i have found.
 * But there is a workaround: use the slug instead of the term name itself or use
   htmlentities for these signs.
