WooCommerce’s API returns text with HTML entities baked in, so a collection called Kids & Sports came across as Kids & Sports. Altera now decodes those entities for plain-text fields during a migration, so names read the way the merchant typed them.

Fixes
#

  • Plain-text fields - decodes HTML entities (&, ', and friends) in product and collection titles, vendor and tag names, variant options, and image alt text.
  • Customers and orders - the same cleanup applies to customer and address names, companies, order line titles, and tax labels.
  • Rich text left intact - product and collection body HTML keeps its entities, where they belong, so descriptions still render correctly.
