    anyone? plz guys…

    I have the same problem. I am using greek characters and utf-8 encoding too.

    I also have the same issue. I have tried hours to hours to fix it but not successed.

    Had similar problem. Converting all my template files to UTF-8 without BOM (with Notepad++) solved this.

    I have the same problem with my posts. I tried converting my theme’s template files with Notepad++, as mikkohei13 suggested, but nothing happened. Should I convert the default theme templates as well?

    This is a very annoying problem and I am not sure if it is a WordPress or a Facebook problem… please help!

    Same problem with Hungarian characters.

    Notepad++ is a great text editor, especially for developers working with code. Get it here:

    https://notepad-plus-plus.org/download

    In your WordPress installation files, browse to your themes folder:

    example.com/blog/wp-content/themes/mycustomtheme/

    Inside this folder, open all your files ending with *.php using the Notepad++ program. In the menu bar at the top, look for:

    Encoding > Convert to UTF-8 without BOM

    Save the file. Repeat with all .php files. Upload all your edited files back to the server via ftp if you downloaded them locally first.

    Thanks Joe!!!

    I was desperate, I’ve did it once more after your comment and IT WORKED!!!

    Thanks again…
