I’ve checked documentation: https://docs.frontity.org
I’ve checked community forum: https://community.frontity.org

Describe the expected behavior

If I use an ampersand in one category of my WordPress, it should display the character & instead of &.

Describe the observed behavior

Frontity is displaying & in both twentytwenty-theme and mars-theme for the category Business & Marketing.

Unfortunately, it’s not. The REST API doesn’t have any options. ok, that sucks 😅

In that case I ll change the wp-source to unescape in every field that is not a .rendered. It’s technically double work, but seems like the only solution.

Yeah… I don’t think this should be done at the state manager level, but either in the theme with a decode function exposed by frontity or automatically by wp-source.
