Hi Arv

Do you mean to download the ‘as-is’ plugin or is that short for some name to download (I coudln’t find as-is)

and i assume that’s not a suggestion for a replacement for your plugin!?

Also, is the sort order of family members sorted yet

All the best, keep up the good work!

Hi

Just wondering if anyone knows when BP 1.3 is out? I’ve had this bug for sometime now, similar to this one for Portuguese. https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/i-have-a-charset-problem/

I’ve did all the manual DB conversions etc and the end result seems to be an AJAX Groups Buddypress bug: if I type an accented Irish charecter á é í ó or ú into anywhere in the groups area, it comes up strange eg ??r instead of ár (within an AJAX content area with sub headings of HOME MEMBERS etc) whereas on my homepage (non AJAX) it seems fine. The intial thread was here https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/from-latin1-to-uft8-issues/

If 1.3 fixes this and is out soon it would solve a major problem for me. I have been delaying properly releasing this site due to this bug and was considering migrating to another social system as I heard Buddypress was no longer supported but if that’s not true and 1.3 fixes this I’d be happy to hold on a while.

regards

I’ve noticed the for comments (i.e. posts) its on the general home page it’s working fine, but for the comments for groups, eg whats new in group 1, these are not rendering the accented letters.

This also applies for the twitter linkage, for which I am using Twitter for WordPress 1.9.7

sorry when I say home page, it’s the initial login page. When the user logs in the problem then occurs, but again they should both be using header.php

I’ve just realised that the home page is fine whereas the other pages aren’t. Surely they all use the same header.php?

Hi James, that seems to have worked for the WP blog and Buddypress usernames thanks! The only problem remaining is the twitter feeds I have displayed at the top of the page. I checked the charset for the page in header.php and this is set to charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); which I assume is going to pick up the ‘latin1’ set in the reading section. Aithníonn is displayed ok in twitter but it is Aithn?-onn on the page and when I view source on the page. Any thoughts on that?

Hi James

I’ve tried this and still no joy. The only difference for me trying it was that I was using Textpad on a PC therefore step 5 (Select all of the text and select “Unicode (UTF-8)” from the Text/Reload Text With Encoding menu.) was skipped as Textpad doesn’t have this option. I assume this is only a text formatting option anyway?

The problem still exists for creating new posts in WordPress and comments (posted with Buddypress). For example fáda tést í ó abú appeared as f?da t?st ? ? ab? and is being saved in the DB like that or sometimes the accent will not be displayed and the rest of the text will be omitted completely.

Thanks
