 How can I use **sanitize_title()** inside **get_page_by_title()**?
 sanitize_title() outputs something like alexs-book-collection which is not
 the title so the get_page_by_title() function doesnt work.
 I can make a workaround like this,

 {{{
 url_to_postid( get_site_url().'/release_link/'.sanitize_title(
 get_the_title() ).' - '.$lz_version );
 }}}
 but it has a major flaw because if I change the title of a post, the url
 doesnt change automatically (which is a good thing for other purposes) so
 it wont work. And this site has hundred of entries everyday so editing
 both title and permalink is very inefficient.
 And the actual bug we are talking about is, if a title has apostrophe,
 get_page_by_title() wont work. I am looking for a fix for this.
