Naked Social Share – Ampersands displaying as code in Social Share

Hi Ashley,

I’m having trouble with the Social Share feature, and I’m wondering if it’s something that you could fix and apply to the plugin directly so that other users can receive the same fix.

Currently, when you share a post that contains an ampersand (and I’m assuming any other special characters) in the title, the Share feature exports the & as an & in the suggested title in the social media feed, specifically in Twitter. You can see the issue when you try to share this article on Twitter: https://abercrombiekent.com/blog/ak-philanthropy-wheels-of-change/

If the fix can’t be applied to the plugin, do you have a recommendation for how I can fix it for myself?

Here is an example of another user that had this issue and a suggested resolution. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20464311/ampersands-in-wordpress-titles-break-my-share-to-social-media-links (However, I was not talented enough to apply this exact fix for myself, hence reaching out to you.)

Thanks,

Kendra
