Special UTF-8 characters wipe everything out

    We discovered something the hard way today: if you paste in special characters into an Arbitrary HTML widget that’s part of a sidebar provided by Genesis Simple Sidebars, it results in the content in nearly all the Simple Sidebar widgets disappearing. Crazy!

    An example of a UTF-8 character that we can’t handle is →.

    Luckily we had a database backup from last night that we were able to restore. But thought you would want to know about this. Thanks!

    Hi Martyn,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    I have tested this and was not able to replicate. Are you using the latest version of the Genesis Simple Edits plugin? There may be another conflict with a plugin or script on your site causing this to occur.

    Thank you and enjoy your day!

    Interesting. We do have a lot goin on with the website. There must be something else in tandem with this that’s causing this. I’ll table this for now, thanks!
