Thanks so much Caroline – haven’t installed jetpack yet. I appreciate the quick response and really like the them!

Thanks Robert – saved me a lot of trouble!

Increasing memory to 64M in wp-settings.php worked for me – thanks!

Perfect! Just the fix I was looking for. I had the swfupload folder in my site files and it all looked like it was there. I decided to use ftp to overwrite the folder from newly downloaded 2.7 files, cleared cache, restarted browser and it works terrifically now. Very happy camper – thank you!!

I have flash 10.0.12.36 installed.

I wasn’t able to delete this line: define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’); without affecting my new posts after the upgrade. I have also converted my database from latin1 to utf8 in the meantime, but it didn’t help the old posts.

I finally downloaded the Search and Replace plugin https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/

Once activated, I was able to “replace” odd characters like ? and a€ by leaving the “with” box blank in the case of double spaces after a full stop (I learned how to type old school and can’t break the habit) or by inserting the correct symbol (ie. & % or whatever character was being replaced by the weird characters) and clicking the “go” button.

Worked like a charm.

This chart helped find some of those codes https://www.web-source.net/symbols.htm
