How do I stop Wordpress from writing single quotes in the HEAD tag?

Question

I have a fully updated wordpress site with some plugins that enqueue some styles, javascript files, etc. Wordpress writes these items out with single quotes which is screwing up how browsers interpret them.

For example, Chrome uses the items correctly as if they were in the head, but then moves them to the body tag, creating a gap at the top of the page (it inserts a string of spaces). IE9B does this too.

Frustrating to say the least - so I downloaded the html source code and ran it locally. It is fixed if I swap every single quote in the head tag to a double quote. So where do I change this in Wordpress?

Answer 1

First, Is there some code to look at? Second, in theory, it should be fixed if you do that. However, you'd have to take out the "wp_head()" function, out of the < head > section. You don't want to duplicate the code later on.

One other thing you could do, is that you could actually look into the individual plugins and change the output code to what you're looking for. That's a pain but that will fix it so that you can still use the "wp_head()" function.

Cheers

Answer 2

The answer turned out to be completely unrelated to the quotes.

I had edited my theme in Visual Studio 2010, because it is awesome. Somewhere along the line, the encoding got switched to a format that was screwing up in IE9B and Chrome, but NOT Opera 10.

Saving the file in notepad with ANSI encoding fixed the issue immediately.
