    Hi folks,

    I was also a bit frustrated by the German letters (umlauts etc.) being stripped out because I love this plugin but it kept turning Zürich into Zrich!

    So I hacked the code a teeny bit and that fixed it for me.

    in wp-content/plugins/livepress/LivePress/lpsynch.php at about line 339 (right before where it says “// Fix lj-tags hack”) I added:

    $the_event = htmlspecialchars_decode(htmlentities($the_event, ENT_NOQUOTES, 'UTF-8', FALSE), ENT_NOQUOTES);

    This seems not to break anything, but who knows. Different encodings are always such a nightmare. Anyway it works for me!

  • thanks for this hack. I had not started working on getting Cyrillic character support into LP. I’ll get this into the the official LivePress release once I get a chance to test it for myself.

    First we’re trying to resolve the latest issue caused by this plugin making too many connections to LJ.

    -Tania
