Special – and some not so special – characters seem to break the Additional Attendee functionality.<\/p>\n

We’ve had a number of ticket registrations with mandatory additional attendee fields that come through as blank (with nothing stored in the postmeta table). I suspect <\/strong>these are related to customers with professional designations.<\/p>\n

Ex:
\nFirst name: Joe
\nLast Name: Smith, PHD<\/p>\n

Also, I’ve confirmed that an ampersand cuts off the data in the field.<\/p>\n

Ex:
\nBusiness Name: “A & B Partners” is stored as “A”<\/p>\n

Can we get a fix for this added to the dev task list for this product?<\/p>\n

Many thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1119269","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nSpecial Characters Not Supported in Additional Attendee Info -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/special-characters-not-supported-in-additional-attendee-info\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Special Characters Not Supported in Additional Attendee Info -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Special – and some not so special – characters seem to break the Additional Attendee functionality.
