Stop Wordpress replacing '&' with '#038'

Completed Posted 5 years ago Paid on delivery
Completed Paid on delivery

I have a Wordpress site that uses Javascript code snippets embedded within the blog posts to deliver dynamic, real time content. Since updating the Wordpress core, my Javascript snippets have stopped working. I have traced this back to WP rewriting the JS code and substituting '&' with '#038' within the URL.

You can see this in action here:

[login to view URL]

Within the source, you will see this snippet of JS:

<script src="[login to view URL];unit=sov&#038;cur=usd"></script>

Which should actually be:

<script src="[login to view URL]"></script>

I need a fix to this that isn't going to be overwritten if/when Wordpress is next updated.
