UTF-8 vs. UTF-16

  • I really messed up my site. Its at Myerstownfarm.com. I changed a setting under “Settings” for the UTF-8 code. I know I shouldnt have but I did…now I cant figure out how to get back to it to fix it. I dont know what file to manually changed it. I only have caracters that cover one side of the page to the other. I was trying to figure out why my links were not showing up in my pages…but I guess I “Played” too much. Can anyone help me Please! This is a big mistake for me.

    Oh. My. Goodness. Chinese character sets.

    Try this: in Firefox go to your URL

    https://myerstownfarm.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

    Take a moment to enjoy the text and then in Firefox

    View -> Character Encoding -> UTF-8

    Login and each time the display goes UTF-16, head to the Character Encoding and force it to UTF-8.

    I’m guessing you messed up your “Encoding for pages and feeds”, so if that’s not UTF-8 then change it back.

    How would it have changed my browser config while I was working within the WordPress App?

    So could you see right text?
