Reading $ sign literally

  • We’re adding html to the Events (plugin) text area and finding that the $ sign is apparently being interpreting as code, so that a $1250 item was inadvertently ‘on sale’ for only 50 (the $12 characters weren’t showing). Apparently, $12 means something in code. How do we tell wordpress to treat it literally?

    I have to ask!! Did you have the opportunity to honor the price??

    Heh. The plugin probably plugged it into a double quoted string, so it’s being interpreted as code. They should have used single quoted strings.

    Anyway, try \$ instead.

    Okay dokey

    The lady offering the services about fainted, but luckily, no one is pressing her to honor that price.

    Oops, the backslash doesn’t work. We’re working around that by typing is as $ 1,250.
