Hi lovely people 😊

I’m using the magpie plugin to pull some stuff from a client’s wordpress feed. It’s cranking out some funky characters, here:
http://www.reellifewithjane.com/

(bottom left, under “jane’s film gecko blog”

Here’s my code:

{exp:magpie url="http://www.filmgecko.net/feed/" refresh="60" limit="3"}
<ul>
{items}
<li><a href="http://{link}" title="{title}">{title}</a></li>
{/items} 
</ul>
{/exp:magpie}

I have tried to wrap around the {title} tag:
-xml parser
-smarty pants

neither modifies the output. I have even tried a find and replace on the bad characters, and it didn’t modify it, either.

And I did a forum search on this issue specific to magpie, with no results (if there’s something already out there that addresses this, I’d love to read it 😊 )

In my global weblog preferences, I have “Automatically Convert High ASCII Text to Entities ” set to YES.

Any suggestions on how I can modify those quotes and weird characters, short of fiddling with the originating wordpress feed itself?

Thank you so much!
Reese
