BOM in url for posts?

  • I have many self hosted wordpress blogs, but one I just built is doing something strange.

    on my urls that point to posts, they look like

    mydomain.com/%EF%BB%postname/

    my permalinks are set to custom … /%postname%/

    this is so weird … Theme intrepidity.

    I know that this is most generally caused by excess whitespace between php code blocks… but I didn’t edit any files and don’t know where to start to look to fix this

    fyi, I did not use Fantastico to install, I uploaded and did the install using filezilla like I always do on all my blogs.

    retyping permalinks did not work, the BOM came right back

    the %EF%BB% chars do not show up if you change the permalink settings from “Custom Structure” to “Default”.

    I did notice that UTF-8 Byte Order Mark is what it seems to be, but how do I fix it?
    I have not been able to find an answer for that anywhere.

    ps, when I put the mouse on the link, it shows what it should be until I click on it, then the byte order mark shows up

    any ideas would be helpful and appreciated

    thanks in advance

    I also set up my .htaccess … with no change

    # BEGIN WordPress

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    how about a real url so we can look – that way you don’t have to keep bumping the topic :>)

    sorry, not intentionally bumping, just updating with things I have tried as I keep reading ideas from other posts

    thanks

    last post, it was the headspace2 plugin that I had completely removed, still causing this issue.

    i had to remove all posts made when that plugin was activated and repost them to fix

    thanks

    ps, not trying to bump, just wanted to leave the fix for others that have the same problem

    it’s ok – I was just messing with you – appreciate the resolution
