    Hello!
    I have a blog (http://spotterblog.de) with wordpress and i use live writer to publish to it. It's more conviniend then writing in the Wordpress Editor.
    In Wordpress you can install plugins. I have one vor Text in two columns. In Order to use the Plugin I have to insert "Smarttags"
    But if i insert the Smarttag which looks like this in the Code / html Window in Live Writer
    [column width="47%" padding="6%"]
    Column 1 content goes here.
    [/column]
    [column width="47%" padding="0"]
    Column 2 content goes here.
    [/column][end_columns]

    It will be changed in something like this after switching in any other view than the code view.
    [column width="47%" padding="6%"] Column 1 content goes here. [/column] [column width="47%" padding="0"] Column 2 content goes here. [/column][end_columns]
    The quotation marks are being replayed by " and as a result the Plugin does not work because the tag is not recogniced.
    I tried to change something in the options of live Writer because there are some points where are options to replace characters. But it doesnt help.

    Does someone have a solution?

     Joe, I'm having the same problem and it's the only thing between having the ultimate code plugin and WLW integration. The auto replacement of " with " is the only thing that breaks http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-synhighlight. I can go into PHP and try to decode_entities first, but it's an unneeded hack really.
    I'm using the latest WLW version 14.0.8064.206.

    You might try changing the markup style from "Default (XHTML)" to "HTML" (or vice versa if it is defaulting to HTML). It might or might not work--I'm not sitting near an instance of Writer to try it. If not, I think you might be out of luck other than handling it on the server side... sorry...
