Description
get_the_title( $post->ID ) retrieves the post title.
wp_kses_decode_entities()
will decode any HTML entities (like & → &) in the title.This change will ensure that any special characters in the title, like &, are properly decoded before being returned in the REST API response.
Now, the title.rendered field in the REST API response will return the decoded title with the correct characters like &, instead of the Unicode entities.
