    Hello,

    I just upgraded my blog from 2.13 to 2.2.

    Unfortunately, all my posts in Greek language
    are not currently readable, some strange characters are shown. ??

    This also happened to all category names and comments!

    In addition i can’t add anything in Greek, strange characters appear to all new categories or post content i try to add.

    So, it seems that all Greek letters in dbase changed to strange characters after the dbase upgrade.

    I use UTF-8 in both current and previous version. my db is MySQL v5.

    I tried to see my posts via the phpmyadmin tool, but the strange characters appeared there too.

    PLEASE HELP

    The bug hasn’t been fixed so far, it’s still included in 2.3.1-beta1. When can we expect a bugfix for this nasty problem?

    Is the bug fixed now?

    Problem not yet solved for 2.3.2. Question: is this something that should be done at the level of wp installation scripts or should the database configuration be done to have default utf8 by the hosting company?

    I can confirm that the problem is the database default encoding in mysql not being utf8. I spent almost a week tracing the source of the problem and came to the same answer after trying various plugins and configuration settings.

    I tried to change the field encodings with the help of the service of my host (bluehost.com) but it did not work. I am waiting for answer to a ticket I sent for migrating all the database into a copy with utf8.

    This problem is very recurrent and therefore it should be documented in the support pages of wp and possibly some measures should be taken to ensure that future fantastico installations will create utf8-collated fields out of the box.
