thank you for the quick response!

Here’s one (hacky) solution.

I have to go back in and my customer’s posts to get rid of the ? (?) [I wonder if the A circumflex will show up through this editor].

It looks like she’s getting those every time she enters a double-space between words. (Typewriter typists were taught to do this at end of sentences).

She also gets the ? sometimes at the end of the word, wher e there is only a single space. Why? I don’t know why! I can’t go in and edit every post. If she wants to stick with this tool, she’ll have to figure out how to enter, publish, go back and proofread, go back to edit, guess where ?’s are coming from, remove, republish, reproof, re-edit, remove, republish, reproof…

This is a customer who needs a WYSIWIG Tool. I’m going to leave it the way it is for now. If she wants to change, she’ll probably have to go with a commercial product. (Generally, I was using WordPress as a CMS tool, with posts for updatable menus, and with a few news blocks to update. So something like Contribute would also work).

i know nothing about this, but found some code that worked.
In both of the get_posts on the page I had to make the following change:

Removed this line:
foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>

Replaced with this line:
foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>

More reading to do.

There must be other posts regarding this. I had the same problem and the only way I was able to fix it was to open the HTML window, and try to look for repeated or unclosed codes and delete them. Then Save. Then check. The capital A with circumflex over it seems to be a common problem. Or bold would continue on to next line. Etc.

I see other people are recommending other editors.

Okay. I’ve told the non-HTML people not to do anything but basic formatting with the editor.

They still get a weird bleed of formatting sometimes; for instance the remaining part of the page turns to italic. (I fix by removing extra tags through the HTML popup window).

Hi,
I was just doing something similar. I’m new to the system. Opened the default editor. Checked on HTML, tried to enter HTML character refs into the HTML popup and they came out like characters above (• for instance).
