Encoding problems

Hi,

i have the same issue here.

any idea ?

Best wishes

Just checked and it’s working fine for me.

Well, most of the times, the encoding issues are caused due to MySQL. At the backend, WPWS uses something called the Transients API to cache stuff. In absence of any caching system (like Memcache or simple File based object cache for WP), Transients API uses MySQL to store the scraped information and that mostly causes such issues.

Try out object cache (file) in W3 Cache plugin. May be that solves this issue.

I have the same problem. Whenever on the source website $nbsp;? appears I’m getting “?” character in the output.
Another issue is the charset encoding. I use charset=”iso-8859-2″ but it doesn’t change the encoding.

I’ve tried to use the W3 chache object option, didn’t help.

I’m having encoding problems too.

scrapping the Greek Wikipedia results in gibberish…..

@budtzy, @sfsolutions, @jrusi, @kattouf, did you try sorting caching issues as mentioned in my reply above?

I don’t understand the cache solution.

My site is in greek and everything works fine wth MySQL and Total Cache
I use another scraper plugin and it pulls the greek text fine from Wikipedia but I want to use your plugin.

I will keep trying

I have the same issue with pages including Wikipedia and WP Web Scraper. It doesn’t work with English language and other langueges too. For every single polish diacritic char (both upper and lower case) I get two strange upper case chars “???” (not polish). Changing coding doesn’t help and W3 object cache doesn’t work too.
