    @huskernut0878
    I had the same frustrating issue - here’s my solution -

    I actually made a fix for this that works fine for me - Not sure how to present it - but in the newsfeed.js make the following changes

    1. At the end of the defaults of the newsfeed.js add the line replaceMe: [] as shown below -

      logFeedWarnings: false,
      replaceMe: []       
      

      },

    2. In the getTemplateData: function () { add the following before the return { loaded: true,

      basically everything in the jep section all between the //*******
      return item;

       });
       //*******
       //jep  to fix title for various translations such as
       // a simple ' instead of showing '
       // also replace things like Seattle with Seattle, WA
       var tempTitle = item.title; 
      
       for(let i = 0; i <  this.config.replaceMe.length; i+= 2)
       {
           tempTitle = tempTitle.toString().replaceAll(this.config.replaceMe[i], this.config.replaceMe[i+1]);
       }
       //**********************
      
       return {
           loaded: true,
      

    2A. In the return section -add the jep line as shown below
    publishDate: moment(new Date(item.pubdate)).fromNow(),
    title: tempTitle, //jep see above
    description: item.description,

    1. Finally - in your config.js - the area for the newsfeed - at the end add this and edit it for the items you want changed…
    replaceMe: [ "&apos;", "'", "Seattle", "Seattle, WA", "Biden", "(Pres) Biden",  "Zuckerberg", "Zuckerberg [DATA]"]
    

    (sam, edited to add code block, which preserves the style of the quotes, else u get word processing style, which breaks config.js))

    This will replace the 1st item with the 2nd item, etc… Add whatever translations you want (: I’ve had some fun with the replacements…

            Got it - thank you. Done.
            I hope my solution works for people. It’s been great for me and my needs! And it’s simple. How ever many items are in the array - it will look for them and replace them as dictated by the array…

              @j_joe thank you, this worked for me. but i did have some trouble. only way i coudl get it to work for some reason was to place the character replacement array in the default section of newsfeed.js instead of in config.js

                @j_joe Thank you. I am very new to this and dont know what some of the things you are saying even are such as "In the getTemplateData: function () " and “in the return section” but that gives me some things to figure out. The best way to understand is to figure things out. Thanks again.
