Hi!
Does it show #38; or the actual & when the site is viewed? Are you able to share a link?
Hi Jose!
It showede like this & #38; without the space between & and #.
I reverted back to WP 4.4.2 and everything went back to normal.
Thanks
Knut
So it was showing as & correct?
I do have to ask the question of where was this showing? In the menu item? the URL link?
I would love to be able to replicate this so we can figure out if is core doing this or a plugin or theme. 🙂
This is quite a useful thread on this same topic and it seems to have been a thing back in the WordPress 3 days.

If that helps at all.
Perhaps look into the character encoding of your page and ensure it matches with what is being output? Make sure it’s UTF-8 as that seems to be the best option.
Sorry for the late replay.
This seem to be linked to the Page title. If I avoid using “&” in the page title and then go to menus and change/use “&” there it appears normal.

I had the same issue, your suggestion of removing the “&” from the page title and then adding the “&” to the actual menu resolved it for now.
This seems to imply that with the new update the menu is not understanding the page title correctly or interpreting the “&” twice (?)
Thanks for the hack.
