Just marked this topic as resolved.

Hi Josh,

I think I narrowed it down to the Insert PHP plugin, which I use to echo the same content in different locations. The problem seems to be there. A fairly simple workaround is to leave a space between the dollar sign and the amount. I’m waiting to hear back from the Insert PHP plugin developer.

Thanks for your help. I believe we can consider this thread closed.

it’s really simple: i’m setting up a website for a nonprofit and just want to post suggested donation amounts, or tell people what they would get for a $100 donation for example. but every time i type a dollar sign in wp edit and hit “update” the dollar sign disappears and takes the following two digits with it.

does that make sense.

thanks, josh. if it’s a core wordpress issue, i wonder why a lot more people aren’t complaining about it. money is always a hot topic, and surely wp’ers in canada, australia, nz and the us would have noticed by now that their dollar signs (plus following two figures) keep disappearing. anyway, i’m a wp novice so maybe this is a known issue. for now, i’ll use ascii in text mode only wherever dollars are involved.
