    Love the plugin. I have the Pro version and I noticed I cannot replace the apostrophe (‘) in words. For example: Replace CAN’T to CANNOT. This doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong? Everything else works as expected. Thank you.

    Use your browser’s “view source” feature to view the page’s code and then copy to the clipboard the apostrophe that is being used. There are a couple of variations for apostrophes so the one you’ve used in the Find field is probably not a match for the one that’s actually appearing in the page’s code.

    Thanks but this is not working.

    See this page: https://ussanews.com/2022/11/06/trump-people-cant-stand-hillary-clinton/
    CAN’T in the Title should be CANNOT – I tried different versions of the apostrophe, even the one from VIEW SOURCE and Inspect.

    It did change in the breadcrumbs:
    Home ? Featured ? TRUMP: ‘People cannot stand’ Hillary Clinton
    but not in the title: TRUMP: ‘People can’t stand’ Hillary Clinton

    Other words in Titles of posts change without issue, but words with apostrophes only change in the breadcrumbs, not in the title. Weird. Any ideas? Thanks again.

    I’m unable to view the source. When I do, I get this message:

    “We were unable to load the page you requested.”

    Having said that, if the breadcrumb has changed, then at least shows that apostrophe’s can be replaced.

    One other possible cause is if your site uses AJAX to render content. If it does, this plugin won’t be able to make changes as AJAX bypasses the plugin.

    Finally, the www.ads-software.com forum is for the free version. This thread may be removed nu moderators since you mentioned the pro version. It would be safer to continue the discussion on the pro version’s page below or to email the support address you received.
