[display-posts] shortcode bugged with special character title

  • voknerec · Member ·

    my blog is https://acgoddity.wordpress.com/
    it’s a chinese site but i suppose this wouldn’t be a problem.
    my problem is that in the home(首页) page, i tried to use display-posts shortcode to list my posts under the category “胡说八道”, but it didn’t work as expected. (but i’ve figured out a work-around)

    the following line worked:
    [display-posts category="胡说八道" posts_per_page="-1" include_date="true" order="ASC" date_format="(Y/m/d)"]

    but this line showed nothing:
    [display-posts category="胡说八道" posts_per_page="-1" include_date="true" order="ASC" orderby="title" date_format="(Y/m/d)"]

    my guess is that this category currently contains only one post whose title begins with a chinese bracket character “【”, so that the sorting-by-title functionality breaks down.

    hope you programmers can fix this bug

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    it’s stange that it works now…
    what i did was just publishing a new post (in another category) (with the same leading character “【” in the title), making the previous post (which had not showed up) stop being the newest post
