encoding problems

Your only problem is that when saving the theme’s template files you didn’t save them with utf-8. Even Notepad has this options, so use it. Then you will be fine with the default utf-8. It will serve you well on long run.

thanks moshu.

hmmm, i’m using ultra-edit, and it defaults to UTF-8… maybe i need to save them as UNICODE?

when i re-open the files (after the editing) they show up fine in ultraedit. (and as mentioned, they actually show up fine in the admin section IF i set the encoding on pages to ISO-8859-1)

they actually show up fine in the admin section IF i set the encoding on pages to ISO-8859-1

Which means you saved them with that encoding not utf-8. And we can argue about it all day long, the error will not go away until you try to do what I told you: save them in Notepad selecting the utf-8 encoding. Period.

they were saved as UTF-8, because if i put UTF-8 in “Encoding for pages e feeds” the theme AND the admin display accents correctly. the good news: now NEW comments also appear correctly. problem was that after changed DB_COLLATE to empty and left UTF-8 for “Encoding for pages e feeds” i didnt submit a NEW comment to test. i just saw that the older comment, submitted prior to changing DB_COLLATE, was messed up and assumed that combination wasnt working.

in a few words, DB_COLLATE = ” fixed it.

thanks moshu!

Seemingly we were talking about two different things all the time. I was referring to this:

but the visible text in the theme’s files (which i translated to portuguese, thus it contains accents) shows funny chars where the accents are unless i change it to iso-8859-1

hi every one
please i need some help
what i must do to write my post or pages in russian language , iam new user with wordpress blogs and i don’t know what i can do ..
thanks

well, as long as you input Russian language on your computer ( you got MS Windows, right? ) you can type in WordPress Editor Window in Russian.

Some specific information could be found scroll down for Russian there

we were talking about the same thing. i had two problems that occurred mutually exclusively. one of them was the problem above.

even after thinking i had fixed it, the “the visible text in the theme’s files” was still being displayed as messed up. FYI this is what finally nailed down every the last problem i had: saving it as “UTF-8 NO BOM” instead of plain “UTF-8”

hi

What`s the correct encoding that I have to use to work on the feed of browser Safari and also to the Technorati to the Portuguese?

The encoding UTF-8 and iso-8859-1 don’t work!

thanks

Your blog has the right utf-8 encoding, so don’t mess with it!

I don’t understand your question, sorry.

moshu, plz, look my technorati in https://technorati.com/blogs/gilbertoconsoni.com and see the problem with the special caracters!!!

I need some encoding that work on the Technorat (https://technorati.com/blogs/gilbertoconsoni.com) and to Safari feed…

You cannot do anything about it. It is not a WordPress issue, it is a technorati problem.
Look at the 12 blog reactions below your blog’s description:
e.g. mercúrio fulminante and thalles.blog. Both are hosted by the same pro server (on wordpress.com), both have encoding utf-8. One looks OK, the other is screwed up…

So, stop worrying about technorati – it sucks.
