HTML entities are displayed incorrectly like €

  • Hi folks, following problem:

    HTML entities are displayed incorrectly on my Site [redundant link redacted] you can see.
    For example, we use € as € shown. The problem occurs in the frontend and in the backend.
    The following settings are set in wp-config:
    define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);
    define(‘DB_COLLATE’,”);

    Thank you for support

    Your page uses UTF-8 charset, so you don’t need to use HTML entities at all, just use the actual Euro sign. Some fields in backend settings get escaped to prevent code injection, thus any code, even HTML entities, appear literally instead of being processed.

    Hi,
    many thanks for the answer.
    But i didn’t understand the answer.

    “Some fields in backend settings get escaped to prevent code injection”

    What to do here?
    PS: In another WP installation (ixtral [dot] de) the same Woocommerce installation with the same theme runs without this error.
