Text encoding problem

  • Hi,

    I am not a tech guy but i have managed to transferred my website from one server to another, everything was fine but now when i add new posts in my site it is showing a€?, a€? character in my new posts, old posts are showing correctly.

    When i check config file it was showing me define(‘db_charset’, ‘utf8mb4’); i tried to change it to latin, utf8 but nothing works.

    After that i used firefox old version and change the encoding from western to utf8, then the character of the new posts are showing correctly then i added <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=UTF-8″ /> code in the header, this works in firefox but still in chrome i am seeing incorrect character in my new posts.

    Can anyone please help me to fix this issue.

  • If the old posts are showing up correctly, I suggest you to comment these lines in the config file:

    //define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

    //define(‘DB_COLLATE’,’utf8_unicode_ci’);

    I also suggest to check your database encoding, but be careful! Don’t do any changes without a backup of the db
