    Hello, I have two questions about WPSMF:

    In the SMF Recent Post widget I show the last 5 posts in the forum, but if a post have an special character like á,è,í… then only appear symbols: ??. The blog entry show the special characters correctly and SMF too I only have this problem with the widget.
    My WordPress and SMF charset is UTF-8 (I tried with ISO-8859-1 too).

    And the second question:
    Is possible to assign more than one wordpress category to the same forum? Now I have 4 categories, but I want all blog entries to the same “News” forum. If I put the same “SMF Category” in all of the WordPress categories and save the changes, when I reload the page only the first SMF Category remains with the number that I have put.

    Any idea?

    Thanks and sorry for my bad english ??

  • Hi ??

    If You have the same charset on WP and SMF like UTF-8, please simply edit file: “widget.php” (with Notepad++ or another good editor).

    Look for this cod e:

    <?php
                  foreach($ssi_recentTopics as $topic):
                     echo ('<li><a href="'.$topic[href].'">'.utf8_encode($topic[subject]).'</a></li>');
                  endforeach;
               ?>

    And replace the code for this code:

    <?php
                  foreach($ssi_recentTopics as $topic):
                     echo ('<li><a href="'.$topic[href].'" target="_blank">'.$topic[subject].'</a></li>');
                  endforeach;
               ?>

    ..or better You see this code: here

    And the second answer..

    I think is possible..
    Look on the screens first, from Plugin WPSMF

    Ins config in AP >> WPSMF You have (down right) –> Categories Map
    and ins this section You have >> left: WP Category with all yours WP-Category.

    And rigth: SMF Category where you tip the ID from SMF Category.

    I think You can tiped the same ID (from SMF Category) by all WP-Category.

    And after, go to Export Posts

    In view posts, choose to turn their categories, and only then export the posts.
    first Category, and one after another, etc..
    I do not know for sure, but it is logical and should be able to…
