Special characters on a title of a post.

Hello.
I have this problem:

When the title of a post has a part of it between quotation marks, or I use a special character like: “, ‘, ñ, ó, á, &, etc. On the meta property=”og:title” appears: &quot or anothers characters.

How can I avoid that this happens, because when I share the link on Facebook, all the information disapears after the first quotation marks. And I don’t think it is good for SEO.

Thanks a lot

General rule is to use single quotes in headlines for publishing, and normal practice is for high-ascii chracters to be converted to HTML entities to not be broken greek letters. On our site, in English, when we share to FB, the titles come through fine with HTML encoding.

Depending on how you’re generating the OG tags for FB, there may be issue with the plugin or how you’re doing that.

Check your OG tags in the actual affected post to see what is actually there. FB can read HTML entities properly.
