Umm, how exactly do we fix this? Your post is very confusing or missing something. 

I was in a hurry,

so in ow_utilities folder there is a file html_tag.php , look for method "method::escapeHtmlAttr" the you will see they are usinglike so:


return $escaper->escapeHtmlAttr($string)
so change that return for a know method from php like htmlentities() or something else..I think I will download another library and use instead..

Usage of this library for encoding special chars in urls or meta info does not affect SEO in any way. This was the first question we had before using this library. 

What about for the links inside the site. Everything looks terrible for those trying to share their groups, forums, etc. 

Descriptions are all wacky.. 

Yes, we are aware of that, this is newsfeed plugin issue. It will be fixed asap. 

This is in my wall area actually, not just the newsfeed, but it does do the same in the newsfeed.

-just fyi 

Any comment area have this

Regardless looks unprofetional should be be fixed correcly..

Any News on fixing this issue? I find it annoying when members try to share a group or post in the newsfeed or on the site wall, and people can't clearly read the descriptions. 

This issue is fixed in the upcoming update which is within couple of weeks. 

Alright, thank you for letting me know.

In utitlities, escapeHtmlAttr this function was ignoring string "0" like... if ( !$string )

        {

            return;

        }

i changed it as is_null($string){

 return;

}

would this affect something else? please help me
