<\/a>Notes:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

There is such nothing to this that I hesitate to make it a plugin, much less release it. Here it is anyways.<\/p>\n

Basically, wptexturize() (located in \/wp-includes\/functions-formatting.php), performs certain character and text replacements that I’m not too groovy with, namely this ( ‘ ) being replaced with ( &#8216; ) or ( &#8217 ), and ( ” ) being replaced with ( &#8220; ) or ( &#8221; ). I appreciate the other character and text replacements that were happening, just not those. I could just as well have commented out the code for those offending substitutions in the functions-formatting.php file, but I prefer to modify the core code as little as possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/a>Installation:<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  1. Download the file wpuntexturize.zip<\/a> and unzip it into your wp-content\/plugins\/ directory.
    \n-OR-
    \nCopy and paste the the code (     wpuntexturize.phps<\/a> ) into a file called wpuntexturize.php, and put that file into your wp-content\/plugins\/ directory.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin ‘Plugins’ page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n
