Weird Characters After WordPress Upgrade

Posted on May 24, 2008

After upgrading my WordPress site I noticed a bunch of strange characters in all my articles. A came across a very easy solution to fix this issue on the WordPress forum. Here’s the solution as posted on the forum:

This problem appeared first in 2.2.x The problem (as you surmised) is a problem with the character set.

FIX: Commenting these two lines out in wp-config.php fixed it.
// define(’DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8′);
// define(’DB_COLLATE’, ”);

This was a very simple fix and worked perfectly with no issues.

spread the joy: These icons link to social bookmarking sites where readers can share and discover new web pages.
