While using Eventbrite calendar plugin when a user passes the Eventbrite ID from the Events > Import:Eventbrite the original event in Eventbrite gets amended too.
\nFor eg. If my the Eventrbrite original title was Dolce & Gabana UK: Training Course\/Meet
\nthen
\nafter the import the Eventbrite ticket title gets converted to: Dolce;am=&;134Gabana UK$*356Training Course8&%34Meet<\/p>\n

Further, anywhere in event description for example if there is a venue field that contains special characters then it appears with junk characters. FYI…we have set the events to automatically get published rather than stay in draft state. This action happens after we manually update the WordPress event by going to edit event.<\/p>\n

This is painful for the event admins to edit every time. Finally 3 more questions:
\n1. Is there any way to move the eventbrite ticket information section to higher up in the event page?
\n2. The Google map does not display in event description page in WordPress.
\n3. The Excerpt section does not display only first 2 lines but the All Events page displays full description which makes it look very odd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-997305","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nSpecial characters gets converted into junk characters -<\/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-gets-converted-into-junk-characters\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Special characters gets converted into junk characters -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"While using Eventbrite calendar plugin when a user passes the Eventbrite ID from the Events > Import:Eventbrite the original event in Eventbrite gets amended too.
