Hi Michael,

Thank you for waiting, while I performed a few tests.

It seems that the Popup Maker plugin filters the content the popup's content for special characters, as they can sometimes result in script conflicts.

To avoid that, you can update your popup's content from:


[types field='start-date' style='text' format='d'][/types]-[types field='end-date' style='text' format='d M Y'][/types]

To:


[types field='start-date' style='text' format='d'][/types]&hyphen;[types field='end-date' style='text' format='d M Y'][/types]

Note: You'll find this chart of character entities useful in similar cases:

I hope this helps.

Waqar
