Strange characters appearing when using apostrophe etc

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 2

In our articles where we have inserted an apostrohpe, it’s showing up as ’. we also have issues with symbols appearing next to the use of currency symbols.

Please see an example page http://talkbusinessmagazine.co.uk/2016/02/25/tyre-pilot-stp1400-review/

Also, we have 3rd party adverts appearing in our posts throughout it. How do we turn these off.

Kind regards

Lee

Hi,
I’m not sure why these issues happens. We have no reports of this yet. We also have apostrophes on our demo but the issue is not present: http://demo.tagdiv.com/newspaper/td-post-patricia-urquiola-coats-transparent-furniture-for-glas-italia-with-an-iridescent-sheen/
Please disable all your plugins except visual composer and clear your cache. There could be a plugin conflict that creates the issues. it can also be the cause of the third party ads as the theme has no such ads except for the ones that you implement.
Thank you!

I use the NewsMag theme. Am experiencing the same problem on my blog posts. It’s even appearing on old posts and post titles too. Very annoying.

This issue has been occurring for over 2 months now. I have cleared cache several times and disabled plugins several times too. but problem persists. I’ve even deleted more than half (useless) of the plugins i installed. SAME THING!!!

Hi,
Please make sure you activate the language support for the fonts from the custom fonts section here: http://screencast.com/t/otnp63Sd
If the problem is still there after activating the support for all languages, then please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and provide wp-admin so we can take a look. Also include a link to this topic please.
Thank you!

i was able to find a solution to the problem after taking some time googling to see that it’s a problem from the recent wordpress update. See it here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/quick-fix-strange-characters-appearing-when-using-apostrophe-etc/
