 * works great to fix some of the problems with smart quotes in WordPress 2.0 and
   beyond.
 * However, it does not correctly handle the situation where you’ve got a URL behind
   the quotes and thus the opening `<a href=` tag
 * for example:
 * `("This works")` works fine with your plugin.
 * `("<a href=>this breaks</a>")` is not correctly handled.

 * Guyvan,
 * thanks to your great work identifying the specific issue, I was able to find 
   this:
 * [http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3886](http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3886)
 * Aplying the revisions suggested in that post fixed my issue. I have confirmed
   that the fix fixed the issue, on both of my wordpress sites which were having
   the issue.
 * looks like the patch is going to be in 2.2, set for 04/23/07. If like me you 
   can’t wait that long, to fix manually yourself:
 * edit functions.php under the wp-includes directory
 * search for the following line in functions.php:
 * nocache_headers
 * immediately above that entry, you should see the following:
 *     ```
       if ( version_compare(phpversion(), '4.3.0', '>=') )
         @header("HTTP/1.1 $header $text", true, $header);
       else
         @header("HTTP/1.1 $header $text");
       ```
   
 * what you need to do is comment out the two lines with [@header](https://wordpress.org/support/users/header/)
   in them (by placing // before it) and add the lines i’ve added below (each added
   line is commented below it with “above line added to fix squid”). The “if” and“
   else” statements stay the same…
 *     ```
       if ( version_compare(phpversion(), '4.3.0', '>=') )
           // @header("HTTP/1.1 $header $text", true, $header);
           // above line needs commented out
         @header($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]." $header $text", true, $header);
       //above line added to fix squid issue
       else
           // @header("HTTP/1.1 $header $text");
           // above line needs commented out
         @header($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]." $header $text");
       //above line added to fix squid
       ```
   
 * Best of luck. Drop me an email or IM if you need help (contact info on my blog
   below), i owe you one for identifying that this was an issue particular to squid
   and thus letting me track it down…

 * Wow, impressive troubleshooting work.
 * I was indeed viewing the site through a proxy (squid) on the browser that was
   having trouble. When I turn off the proxy? No proxy, no problem.
 * Not sure what this means – but my site renders just fine if I’m directly connected
   to the internet, and renders random letter/number characters otherwise.
 * So you’re right – its definitely squid.
 * Other additional details:
 * It doesn’t seem to be template based or specific to a customization. We have 
   a very vanilla install of WP 2.12 at [http://live.ufcjunkie.com/](http://live.ufcjunkie.com/)
   and it does the same thing – random characters through the proxy, no random characters
   after removing the proxy.
 * I assumed this was an issue related to the server move, but I’m assuming instead
   its a bug with 2.12. Our old site was on the previous version and had no issues.
 * Hopefully that helps someone in support track this issue down…

 * I’m experiencing the exact same issue.
 * We just moved [http://ufcjunkie.com](http://ufcjunkie.com) across servers.
 * I’m getting the exact same behavior – random characters and numbers appearing
   throughout the site, only appears in firefox (v 2.0.0.2) but everything appears
   normal in IE.
