    If i have a post with title 1'1

    and i use 

     if('1\'1'== get_the_title){
echo 'working';

}

    the if statement will be false, why is that and what is the workaround for it, i already tried the_title() . the_title_attribute() and using double quotes.

    What do you get when you var_dump that?

    get_the_title = “1’1”

    which is probably why it’s saying false
    is there any way to decode that before it’s compared

    edit: It seems that i cant write the real value var dump shows because it gets automatically converted when i put it her

    this is the code, just without spaces 1 & # 8 2 1 7 ; 1

    html_entity_decode()

    seems to be fixing var_dump, however the expression is still showing up as false

    html_entity_decode() with var_dump
    is outputting 1’1 when the post title is 1'1
    any ideas anyone?

    I used str_replace() to replace ’ with ' which is not perfect, but works, so i will mark this as resolved.
