  <p>For some reason ampersands in both the title and body of my Wordpress posts are being automatically turned into "&amp; amp;". Unfortunately there was no answer posted and I can't find a solution anywhere. When the post is published, the final output for all the &amp;s is just "&amp;", but I want to stop it from putting "&amp; amps;" while in the Wordpress editor's code view. I didn't have this problem before - it just appeared randomly. Other people who use this same Wordpress for my site tell me that the issue doesn't happen for them, so I believe the problem might be mine alone - possibly an encoding issue? Does anyone know?</p>

  <p>The "&amp;"s I want to stay as "&amp;"s on the page. Every time I try to type an "&amp;" it gets turned into "&amp;"s - this has never happened for me before.</p>
