Strange imported posts characters

  • Hi,

    I am developing an Arabic blog here

    https://science-and-technology.masrlinks.com/

    The site is recently moved to a new server and since then, the newly imported posts have strange characters as seen above.

    The database, php, mysql and wp-config all set to UTF8.

    Also, when I add posts manually, the Arabic characters work fine.

    What could be the issue? Any help is really appreciated

    Thanks,

    Ahmed

  • Hi Ahmed,

    Thank you for reaching out.

    This must be a coding issue.

    We have receive same case as yours.

    Can you try manually modifying feed.php WordPress file (in wp-includes folder), adding this line:

    $feed->set_input_encoding("iso-8859-1");

    [Moderator note: code fixed. Please wrap code in the backtick character or use the code button.]

    Let me know if it works or email me at camille @feedspi.com.

    Best,

    @camille_feedsapi –

    manually modifying feed.php WordPress file (in wp-includes folder)

    Please don’t suggest that users modify core WordPress files. Their changes will be lost when WordPress is updated. Thanks.

    Thank you Camille for your reply.

    The blog charset is UTF-8, so I tried your suggested line with both utf-8 and iso-8859-1 and none of them is working.

    Your help is very much appreciated.
