There is a thread discussing how to turn on smart quotes here: https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/smart-quotes/
However, I’m finding that my straight quotes are getting turned into curly quotes automatically.
Is there a way to prevent this behaviour? I’m finding this to be occurring in a WYSIWYG field (to be precise, in a repeater though I don’t think it would make a difference).
Looking in the database, I can see the quotes are straight quotes and not curly.
Hm, ok, I found a solution in completely turning of wptexturize sitewide with:
add_filter( 'run_wptexturize', '__return_false' );
which works but seems a bit heavy handed. In trying to find a way to target the WYSIWYG sub-field more precisely, I found this thread:
https://support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/remove-wysiwyg-wptexturize-filter/
Which suggests:
remove_filter ('acf_the_content', 'wptexturize');
Which isn’t working for me, I assume potentially because it is a repeater/subfield?
I’m also actually accessing the repeater by simply getting the entire repeater as a variable and accessing the text directly via the array, so I’m even more confused that the text is being filtered. (get_sub_field or the_sub_field result in the same curly quotes, however)
Hi @waffl
Could you please try the following code in your functions.php file?
function my_acf_remove_curly_quotes() {
remove_filter ('acf_the_content', 'wptexturize');
}
add_action('acf/init', 'my_acf_remove_curly_quotes');
Hope this helps 🙂
