NO BUG: Rich Text Element gets auto formatted (wptexturize?)

Bugs

Not sure if this is a bug or an intended feature (it’s not a new issue; old Bricks installations are affected as well), but all my quotation marks get “prettified” automatically in the frontend when I use a Rich Text Element. This doesn’t happen with the basic text element.
How can I turn this off? I know there’s this WP Core feature “wptexturize” which might be responsible. There are various solutions / code snippets to deactivate it, but nothing seems to work for Bricks Rich Text Elements.

Hi Niko,
Seems like wptexturize is responsible for this. But you can disable it with this filter:

add_filter('run_wptexturize', '__return_false');

Best regards,

Thank you! I had already tried exactly this snippet (or so I thought), but it didn’t work for some reason. Tried again today and now it works :person_facepalming:
