I have simple situation but can't get the right answer and solution

Problem: for example my woocommerce category name “soup, noodle & pasta” I add this category in my menu and after that will change my category name “pizza, pasta & noddles” it should automatically update in in menu too.

but unfortunately it's not working.

test case If you have category simple category name e.g "contact" it will work fine.

My issue is when I put special character like "," or "&" i face this issue

• categories
• woocommerce-offtopic
• menus

• Please contact the plugin author directly - this is related to their specific plugin code, not anything we here could help with. – WebElaine Commented Sep 10, 2019 at 13:17
• @WebElaine well I am not using any plugin it's default behavior of WordPress I install fresh WordPress and use WordPress default theme still facing the same issue – Zaheer Ahmad Commented Sep 10, 2019 at 14:07
• In the inital post you said "I have this test case in other menu plugin and it’s not updated that’s why I confirming before buy this plugin." Your post still says "for my woocommerce category name." Are you saying you have tried creating a Core Post, Page, or Category with that same type of name including an amperand, put it in a Core Menu in a default theme, and you're still encountering issues? – WebElaine Commented Sep 10, 2019 at 15:44
• @webelaine yes first i think it's issue with plugin but then I tried on fresh WordPress installation and use WordPress default theme still get the same error so yes still getting error with default theme and fresh installation. I also report to WordPress team. – Zaheer Ahmad Commented Sep 11, 2019 at 6:58
