When creating a feed using Views > Format: RSS Feed, Show: Content, titles for items are encoded correctly. When creating a feed using Views > Format > Format: RSS Feed, Show: Fields, the titles for items are double encoded. For example:

RSS Feed - Content : <title>This title&#039;s apostrophe is rendered</title>
which correctly appears as "This title's apostrophe is rendered"

RSS Feed - Fields: <title>This title&amp;#039;s apostrophe is rendered</title> which incorrectly appears as "This title&#039;s apostrophe is rendered"

Double encoding occurs for apostrophes and ampersands. I have not tested other entities.

Using a temporary workaround.

Added the following file to our website's theme:

views-view-field--feed--title.tpl.php

with the code:

print preg_replace(array('/&quot;/', '/&amp;/', '/&#039;/'), array('"', '&', "'"), $output);

I understand that this is not exhaustive in terms of HTML entities, but it is sufficient for our use at the present time.

Please could you precise where exactly put this file or if anything needs to be added to the code.

I put the file named views-view-field--feed--title.tpl.php (see attachment) at sites/all/themes/NAME_of_my_theme directory and it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.
