Product description formatting disappears and characters change (> to >)

Store Design
1

Hi, it seems that the formatting I use in my product pages changes on the item quickview. This includes line breaks disappearing and characters changing. This doesn’t happen on the regular item page, just in the quickview. For example, I use > (the greater than symbol) in my product descriptions to indicate subcategories. If a wine comes from the Rioja region of Spain, I write it as Spain > Rioja. Unfortunately this appears as > on my page but ONLY on the item quickview. I took a screenshot to show what is happening. I’ve seen ways to address this on wordpress and other web applications but what do I do on Shopify? I assume something needs to appear in the code but what and where?

You can see this in action on my page https://sampler-wine.myshopify.com/collections/red password: ohpayp

Hello @MistyM

Add the below code right above you on theme.liquid file

Hope this helps.

Hi Anthony_David_ and thank you for replying to my question. I never seem to get any feedback on my questions, so I really appreciate this.

I’ve tried your solution but I’m afraid it hasn’t made any difference and I’m still seeing the strange characters. I’ve included the script from the theme.liquid file below, with your code shown in bold type. Any thoughts?

<!doctype html>

{% if settings.favicon != blank %} {% endif %} {% capture seo_title %} {{ page_title }} {% if current_tags %}{%- assign meta_tags = current_tags | join: ', ' %} – {{ 'general.meta.tags' | t: tags: meta_tags -}}{% endif %} {% if current_page != 1 %}– {{ 'general.meta.page' | t: page: current_page }}{% endif %} {% unless page_title contains shop.name %}– {{ shop.name }}{% endunless %} {% endcapture %} {{ seo_title }} {% if page_description %} {% endif %} {% include 'social-meta-tags' %} {% include 'vela-header-styles' %} {% include 'vela-header-javascript' %} {{ content_for_header }}

{% include ‘pagefly-header’ %}

{%- if template contains 'customer' -%} {%- assign velaBodyClass = 'template-account' -%} {%- endif -%} {%- if settings.loading_enable -%} {%- assign bodyPreLoading = 'bodyPreLoading' -%} {%- endif -%} {% include 'vela-template' %}
{% include 'vela-header-section' %} {{ content_for_layout }} {% section 'vela-footer' %}
{% include 'vela-ajaxcart' %} {% include 'vela-modal' %} {% include 'vela-footer-javascript' %} {% include 'social-head-common.liquid' %} ****
