Okay, How to Add WordPress Tooltip Effect on Special Characters?

In some wordpress themes, theme codes will change a few special characters, for example a few themes will convert the symbol “‘” to the html code “’”, in codes of wordpress tooltip plugin, our function do stored the symbol “‘” in tooltip term “Here’s“, but this kind of wordpress theme will not display the symbol “‘” in “Here’s“, actually they will convert the symbol “‘” to the html code ’, so in the front end, we found the real word displayed in the wordpress page is “Here’s” , because all content in front end is decided  by codes in the wordpress theme, if the theme do not display tooltip term correctly, tooltip plugin have no chance to detect correctly tooltip terms and add tooltip effects on tooltip terms, we used a lot of time to analyze it, and we found if you just replace it like this method:

Replace it special characters with HTML codes, please change tooltip title from:

“Here’s my prayer for you” to

to

“Here’s my prayer for you”

Then it will works well in this kind of wordpress theme, you can find all HTML codes at: https://ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm
