Tony Jo (ID: 000000cdd2928a81) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/26/2023 Replacing ¹² characters in content pasted from Bing chat in the wordpress Gutenberg editor is not successfully replacing them with null. The edit page says it was successfully replaced, but after saving and refreshing the page, it is not replaced. wordpress 古腾堡编辑器中替换从Bing chat粘贴过来的内容中的¹²字符时无法被成功替换为空。文章编辑页面显示已成功替换,但是保存后刷新页面发现并未替换。
