Sepecial german problem with upgrade 1.2 to 1.5

Note:
my copy paste try shows an interesting detail. I try ageain –www.xn–schckens-85a.de/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/style.css” type=”text/css” media=”screen”– this is from the code look like its written above

Have you checked the german forums ?
https://www.wordpress.de

I’m not saying you MUST go there, but maybe there is a better chance of help there .

P.S. does not work, seems to be part of the problem, look up source code of https://www.xn--schckens-85a.de/wordpress/

thx

I’ve checked it, there is another guy with them same problem without solution.

Open wp-includes/functions-formatting.php in a text editor and at around line 14 or so look for this:

$curl = str_replace('--', '–', $curl);

Comment it out, like so:

// $curl = str_replace('--', '–', $curl);

The problem has cropped up a few times before on the forums, but can’t locate the threads.

Jeah, great. it works. thank u tousandtimes, i will post it on german forum.

Have a nice day

If you would like to keep the dash conversion, you could use these two lines instead (i.e. keep the original first line shown below, add the second after it):

$curl = str_replace('--', '–', $curl);
$curl = str_replace('xn–', 'xn--', $curl);
