Html for ampersand displays incorrectly on Home title since update | Troubleshooting All in One SEO Pack Pro | Support | Semper Plugins

After updating to 2.0.6 I have run into the same problem I had in October. I had the html number for ampersand in my Home title and the code comes up in my title bar instead of the symbol. This is not a problem with my other page titles where I use the code.

I was given code from support at that time to put in my function.php

add_filter( ‘aioseop_home_page_title’, ‘sfwd_fix_home_title’ );
function sfwd_fix_home_title( $title ) {
return htmlspecialchars_decode( $title, ENT_QUOTES );
}

After the update the html code was showing up in my title bar again – only for my home page. My function.php has not been changed since October. When I tried to insert it in the all_in_one_seo_pack.php it shuts down my website. I have changed my Home title for now but really would like to use the ampersand code.

Thanks
