Problem with single quotes

I think you’re actually seeing this bug:

https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/17926

Try this plugin and then re-save the job listing. Give that a shot and let me know how it goes!

no me it’s the opposite, in the blog part WP automatically changes the apostrophes but in the WP Job Manager part it is not changed, I would like WP Job Manager changes them also automatically, I want on my complete site the apostrophes be curved

Oh! Hmm, I don’t know how you could do that. Maybe this will work?

Or maybe this really old plugin? https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/smart-quotes/

I’d suggest making a full backup of your site before trying these, or trying them on a staging or test site first.

I can only speak for wp-Typography, but it won‘t change any of your stored content – all typographic adjustments happen on output only.

@pputzer So do you think wp-Typography could solve his issue? Sounds like you’re only saying “don’t worry about the DB being messed up if you use wp-Typography”, right?

@richardmtl: Without testing, I can indeed only promise that wp-Typography will not mess up your content and will clean up after itself if you uninstall it. I don’t know what filter hooks are used by WP Job Manager. (The default hooks on which wp-Typography is enabled by default can be seen here. You can also add additional hooks via add_filter( 'my_hook', [ 'WP_Typography', 'process' ] ); or directly call the API in your templates for even greater control.)

Caveat: wp-Typography has a required minimum PHP version of 5.6.

I was actually looking to get rid of the curved apostrophes, as my selected font doesn’t support them. So, I added this to my child themes functions.php.

remove_filter( ‘the_title’, ‘wptexturize’ );

If you want to use curved apostrophes somewhere that wordpress isn’t doing the conversion for you,
