    Hi

    First the plugin was working great. But suddenly there are some strange characters are showing all around the site.

    Example:
    ————-
    a€?Dear Law Office:
    Today I got my green card! Thank you for helping us in all this paperwork.It was a pleasure working with you; we couldna€?t have done it without you.
    Thanks again.a€?

    It was like:
    —————
    “Dear Law Office:
    Today I got my green card! Thank you for helping us in all this paperwork.It was a pleasure working with you; we couldn’t have done it without you.
    Thanks again.”

    Any idea for that?

    Need ` <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type”
    content=”<?php bloginfo( ‘html_type’ ); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ ); ?>”/>` in header on theme or 

    add_action('wp_head', function(){
?>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</php
})

    in custom plugin/theme functions. HTML5 <meta charset="UTF-8"> is supposed to do it but it just doesn’t work

    same problem

    Fixing the Character Encoding Mismatch Problem in WordPress

    Step 1) Open the ‘wp-config.php’ file in a text editor such as notepad (the wp-config.php file can be found on the directory where you installed WordPress).

    Step 2) Find the following two lines and comment them out:

    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

    They should look like the following after you comment them out:

    //define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
//define('DB_COLLATE', '');

    Step 3) Now upload the updated ‘wp-config.php’ file to your webhost (overwriting the old one).

    @dush88gs you need to set the charset in the document, not disable the defined encoding. What I posted has worked every time for me.

    @futureskills

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> can be added in the head area of your header.php theme (child ideally(, or the wp_head code into the functions.php of your child theme.

    Plugin Author Derrick Hammer

    (@pcfreak30)

    Should actually be instead `<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type”
    content=”<?php bloginfo( ‘html_type’ ); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ ); ?>”/>` or

    `
    add_action(‘wp_head’, function(){
    ?>
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type”
    content=”<?php bloginfo( ‘html_type’ ); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ ); ?>”/>
    </php
    })
    `

    sorry again, really i am so sorry

    you mean replace this part

    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type”
    content=”<?php bloginfo( ‘html_type’ ); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ ); ?>”/>` or

    with

    add_action(‘wp_head’, function(){
    ?>
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type”
    content=”<?php bloginfo( ‘html_type’ ); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo( ‘charset’ ); ?>”/>
    </php
    })

    and also where i can find this part

    No, I gave you two routes to go for fixing. Adding to the functions or using the header.php in a child them and adding to the head. You dont need both.

    thanks i will try this

    but i hope to ask after i add the plugins i notice that https disappear, is this from the plugin installed

    Plugin Author Derrick Hammer

    (@pcfreak30)

    I don’t see why any of my plugins would disable https. Can you clarify what you mean by “disappear”?

    i do it as shown (add at the first of header.php of my theme)

    <meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″>
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html <?php language_attributes(); ?> class=”no-js”>

    but it seems the site is broken and is not showing in a correct manner
    arab-academy.com

    yes, it was my erorr browse didn’t show the green https so i think it was error

    now, i add

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> at the first line of header.php in my theme

    the arabic language appear, but the site styple is broken

    arab-academy.com

    For me to assist anymore to fix your problems, you will need to hire me at https://codeable.io/developers/derrick-hammer/ I will have to go into your code and so that will cost.

    You can also test with just wp-rocket and none of my plugins and if the issue still exists ask wp-rocket support.

    Thanks.

    This topic was hijacked from the original post 4 months ago and that’s not cool.
