Tag: SyntaxHighlighter

Recently I noticed that the character & is displayed in the SyntaxHighlighter like this: &amp

To fix this, simply add this snippet of the user kaggdesign to /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/syntaxhighlighter/syntaxhighlighter.php

/**
 * Filter to fix issue with & in SyntaxHighlighter Evolved plugin.
 *
 * @param string $code Code to format.
 * @param array $atts Attributes.
 * @param string $tag Tag.
 *
 * @return string
 */
function kagg_syntaxhighlighter_precode( $code, $atts, $tag ) {
	if ( 'code' === $tag ) {
		$code = wp_specialchars_decode( $code );
	}
	return $code;
}
add_filter( 'syntaxhighlighter_precode', 'kagg_syntaxhighlighter_precode', 10, 3 );

This can be done directly from the webinterface. Just go to Plugins -> Plugin Editor -> select the Plugin SyntaxHighlighter Evolved -> add the snippet to the end
