" inside JSON replaced with “, making it invalid JSON

    I have an article that has two double quotes ” in the description. I’m using Rank Math, and this plugin outputs a JSON object containing meta information about the page, such as the article description. Basically:

    {
  "description": "What is the "right" approach?"
}

    When Simply Static processes the page in the output, these HTML codes are replaced with double quotes:

    {
  "description": "What is the "right" approach?"
}

    This make the content invalid JSON. Any idea how to deal with this?

    Hi @josdejong, we’ve worked on a fix for this. Next version will fix it.

    For now, you could add find the class src/class-ss-url-extractor.php, find method extract_and_replace_urls_in_script and instead of html_entity_decode( $text ) add html_entity_decode( $text, ENT_NOQUOTES )
