The following steps worked with me when I moved my site to another server:

Empty your cache in your web browser, close the browser, start up your computer, visit again your site.

Marhaba,

1. Check that your encoding is UTF-8 in Options/Reading page. Browse down and you will find it.
2. Translate the articles in Notepad, then copy, then paste in Arabic WordPress, Write page. Publish.

But…

I recommend that you do another approach:

1. Make sure that encoding in the English WordPress is also UTF-8.
2. Create a category and name it “Arabic”.
3. In the same English WordPress make new Arabic articles. Before publishing them make sure to check in “Arabic” category.

To give your Arabic articles the right direction add this style to the DIV tag inside the write page…

<div style="direction: rtl;align: right;">arabi arabi</div>

When your visitors click on category “Arabic”, they will get only Arabic articles.

One thing, which can be a taste matter, is that the Arabic articles will be mixed with English articles.

See how I implemented this solution on my site kadmous.org, with no need for me to have a category “Arabic”.

Use shorter menu names; Suggest instead of Suggest a site, Contact instead of Contact/privacy.

Or

Open your CSS file and check the width in class .page_item. Try to make the width equal to the width of the content class. Any way try to reduce the width of this navigate bar.

Hi vav,

Before I proceed with my post, I like to note that this is my first post on this forum. I am proud to power my site with WordPress and I am very thankful to this community for helping me termendously with my WordPress world. Thanks everybody.

I understand your problem. I also have some members who don’t like to mess with Word, WYSIWYG and HTML. And I know there is no way around so far.

But I approached this problem with a different angle. Because they dont like the HTML, but I know HTML, then I made my own quicktags buttons. Those buttons consist of functions which I know that my members need them. In short, I made our own Word-quicktags-WYSIWIG editor.

Knowing HTML as you said, just decide what functions you need. If you need larger text, make it a CSS, put it in your template CSS file, then add it as a button to the quicktags.

Talk to your members to know what is their needs. You make the HTML editing one time for all. And from time to time you improve it, delete some unused buttons, add new.

Here is a guide by Tamba how to edit the quicktags: https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/quicktags/
