markdown and smart quotes

Hello,

Would you mind providing us with the link to your site and a little more clarification of your requirement? So that we can offer you with a possible solution.

Thank you.

@mattneub Hello Matt,

I was facing the same problem with all themes (including Twenty Nineteen) after I decided to switch to Markdown. I was able to “fix” this by adding the following to functions.php:

/** Disable Curly Quotes */
remove_filter('the_content', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter('the_title', 'wptexturize');
remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'wptexturize');

You can add (or remove) any filters as per your preferences. I hope you and others find this helpful.

@iu7489 Where would I add those lines? What function do I add them to? Thanks

If you’re using a Child Theme, add the filters to your Child Theme’s functions.php file.

If you are not using a Child Theme, the functions.php file will be overwritten in each Twenty Nineteen update, so use the https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/code-snippets/ plugin instead to add the filters.

@macmanx I understand, but my question is, _where_ within the code? Code inside _functions.php_ needs to be inside some function, doesn’t it? So what function? Or am I being told that this code will run even if placed at the top level of the file?

You can just put all of that on a new line inside the functions.php file.

@iu7489 That does the exact opposite of what I want. Instead of enabling curly quotes on Markdown-generated posts, it disables curly quotes everywhere.
