Character problem in calendar month name

    Hello,
    When I click on the “next month link” inside the calendar, it gets loaded via ajax. The problem is that characters with accents (my locale is set to french) aren’t displayed correctly. For example “é” gets displayed as “??” which is its utf8 form. I checked the script and if I add uft8_decode() to the function displaying the month name it fixes the pb but I don’t think it’s the proper way to do it. The charset of my pages is set to utf8.

    Thanks
    G.

    I installed the plugin via the WP backoffice. But I’ll check the encoding of the files.

    that could be why… I’ve seen that happen before. I advise you try and do it with the auto-updater/installer if possible.

    I think we mean the same thing, the backoffice, the installer, which is available in wp-admin under plugins / add. Am I wrong?

    I uninstalled it and installed the latest 5.3.1, same problem.

    What is weird is the difference between the 2 calls to the template file.
    The first one displays characters correctly, the ajax call displays utf8 characters as if they were in a ISO-8859 page.

    Just noticed what firebug says about the Response : Content-Type text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

    I tried this one using the same wp localization (fr_FR) and seems to worked fine on my test site.

    btw, how about WP Settings > Reading > Encoding for pages and feeds ?

    damn it, I installed it locally on my PC and it works correctly. Then there must be something wrong with the server but I wonder what…

    I’ll check the Apache config…
    I uncommented the line AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 in /etc/apache2/conf.d/charset but it doesn’t help.

    Same troubles with russian localisation.

    just to narrow down the problem have you tried to temporarily:

    – deactivating all other plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems

    Is this the same when you create new event while using default theme or all other plugins are disabled?

    All plugin deactived. I installed a Twenty Twelve template, but the error appears again. The error occurs when I switch the months.
