Character Encoding Issue

    Found that the plugin was causing strange character encoding issues. To fix I added these two lines to function.php (websitez_filter_advanced_page function)

    Here is the original code…

    /*
Filter content for an advanced mobile device
*/
function websitez_filter_advanced_page($html){
	if (class_exists('DOMDocument')) {
		try{
			//Resize the images on the page
			$dom = new DOMDocument();
			$dom->loadHTML($html);
                        .....

    Here is what I added

    /*
Filter content for an advanced mobile device
*/
function websitez_filter_advanced_page($html){
	if (class_exists('DOMDocument')) {
		try{
			//Resize the images on the page
			$html = mb_convert_encoding($html, 'utf-8', mb_detect_encoding($html));
			$html = mb_convert_encoding($html, 'html-entities', 'utf-8');

			$dom = new DOMDocument();
			$dom->loadHTML($html);
                        ....

    What type of encoding does your DB use? What encoding is being set inside your WP Admin? You might be able to set the encoding right on the $dom variable instead of converting. I will see if I can find anything related to this with the DOMDocument class.

    I would hesitate in using this type of a fix because it can cause other issues.
