Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Special characters converted to question marks on saveAfter further testing, I was mistaken about my above post. The thing is I have both vietnamese and chinese characters on my page, so I had to add in another windows character encoding into my web browser (FF) in order for both to show up. So right now both character languages show up with the following settings:
/*define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); define('DB_COLLATE', '');*/
For the following browsers:
Firefox (Activate encodings via View -> Character encoding -> Customize list -> )
– Add in Vietnamese (Window-1258)
– Add in Unicode (UTF-8)Internet Explorer (View -> Encoding -> )
– Set encoding of browser to Unicode (UTF-8)Hopefully that helps someone out there.

In reply to: Special characters converted to question marks on saveI’ve been doing some testing with the encoding when declaring it etc..
So far I’ve discovered that, if you change:
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); define('DB_COLLATE', '');
To:
define('DB_CHARSET', 'UTF-8'); define('DB_COLLATE', '');
The encodings of tags are saved when you add them after changing your wp_config.php’s encoding. However, any encoding that you try to make in posts will cease to exist, even if you are trying post after changing the value to UTF-8.
However, if you change the values to utf8, my posts all show up the chinese characters and what not, except the tags are no longer appearing correctly.

In reply to: internal error or can’t find databaseQuestion:
have you been able to get this to work without the “killerr” name involved. Isn’t the whole point of this is to get your database to be accessible by wordpress. Before making assumptions you should try getting it to work with different types of database names, its most likely that the name has nothing to do with the errors. If it is the case that you the character string “killer” the problem, you should just consider another name for the database.
If you look up what exactly an 500 Internal error means:
Resolving 500 errors – general
This error can only be resolved by fixes to the Web server software. It is not a client-side problem. It is up to the operators of your Web server site to locate and analyse the logs which should give further information about the error.
Also check with your host to see if your db is actually online and operational. Double check usernames the works etc.

In reply to: Comments OffI’m not sure if your version has this or not since I’m using 2.6.2 and not 2.5.1, but if your scroll down when you’re writing your post, there should be some advanced options regarding comments and allowing/disallowing comments specifically for that individual post. If this method doesn’t work..hmm do you have a link?

In reply to: Moving Blog to New Domain (but no access to old)Well did you “backup” your blog before changing/moving it? All you need to do is reupload everything that you “backedup”. Which means your backuped database, and your backuped wordpress. Your old blog should be able to run smoothly after this.
Careful when restoring wordpress files and databases as some things have a tendency not to overwrite, so I suggest you delete the old files and database located on your old host, and re-upload your backedup versions for a successful restoration.

In reply to: Can’t edit the theme.How do you plan to edit your theme, online or offline?
If online, what are you using to edit it, how are you editing it?What’s the exact permissions that you’ve set the WP files that you want to edit? Why don’t you just temporarily set your files to 777 and edit it and make sure to set it back to 755. What type of error messages are you seeing when you try to edit the file? Or is it just not saving properly? Please elaborate on “edit”.

In reply to: Theme not centeredTry to get your site back to normal where, it was aligned left, but everything was in order. Then try making a div tag before the highest possible exisiting tag, and then use center tags or css declarations. This should center your blog, while keeping everything else in place.
