Weird Text Encoding

  • Everything was going fine on this WP site I created until one day the client said his video embeds weren’t working anymore. I had a look at the outputted html and can see that HTML characters are replacing the normal punctuation.

    Annoyingly, I can’t post the code here because it parses the characters and loads them as correct HTML on output! The only thing I can think of is link to an image so you can see the code.

    I have a feeling it’s a character encoding problem, but can’t see how. WordPress is using UTF-8 and the database is set to utf8_unicode_ci.

    Any ideas on this?
