Description
Email notifications sent by bbPress will sometimes include unwanted HTML entities, particularly in the email subject but sometimes in the email text as well.
For example, a forum topic as follows:
My thoughts & objections
might come through with an email subject as follows:
My thoughts & objections
There is a fix for this marked “under consideration” in the bbPress bug tracking system:
https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2865
In the meantime, this plugin implements a version of the suggested fix. (Props to @thebrandonallen for the patch code.)
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This plugin only works with bbPress 2.5.8 or later.
If you’re using other plugins that affect how bbPress sends emails, then this plugin may not solve your HTML entities issues.
