 I found a problem with the WooCommerce layered nav plugin caused by
 WordPress itself. When you have products shown filtered by an attribute
 (for example - red) and then click the number of products to show (such as
 45) upon page load the ampasand (&) changes to the HTML entity instead.

 I commented out a few lines on wp-includes/formatting (example - line 238
 - $curl = preg_replace( '/&(?!#(?:\d+|x[a-f0-9]+);|[a-z1-4]{1,8};)/i',
 '&', $curl );) which now stops this happening.

 Please have a look as I know this will be overwritten when WordPress is
 next updated.

 Best Regards,

 Jim.
