Description:

Prevent WordPress from displaying single and double quotation marks as their curly alternatives.

Extended Description

Despite the unfortunately misleading name, this plugin is NOT the antithesis of WordPress’s wptexturize() function. This ONLY prevents WordPress from making HTML entity code substitutions of single and double quotation marks with their curly alternatives and does NOT prevent wptexturize() from making any other character and string substitutions.

Installation

  1. Download the file wpuntexturize.zip and unzip it into your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ admin menu in WordPress.

Examples

For single-quotes, instead of appearing as ‘ or ’, they’ll always appear as '

for double-quotes, instead of appearing as “ or ”, they’ll always appear as "

    A: This ONLY prevents WordPress from making HTML entity code substitutions of single and double quotation marks with their curly alternatives and does NOT prevent WordPress from making any other character and string substitutions.
