Thank you Michael… that did the trick.

Yeah I already checked that, although I imported all the tables from the previous installation, including the options table, so all my settings *should* in theory be identical. I do not understand why there would be any difference in how the content is displayed.

Currently, the old install is still in place, with the fresh install residing in a test directory. Both versions are using the same database, with a different table prefix. If you are able to, contact me at [email protected] and I can provide you with a url to both blogs, as well as the user credentials you will require to view the 2.5 version.
Maybe if you can look at it you’ll be able to understand the problem better… it really appears as if it is simply a problem with how the browser is now displaying the accented characters, even though they displayed perfectly fine in the original blog.

Squidly… I have tried everything to get the upgrade to work, and have given up completely. I am now trying to do a clean install, and import the content into a new db, but now I am having a whole new issue, which has something to do with the German accented characters not translating right on the browser end. oh well… this is exactly why I like writing my own stuff.

I am having a very similar problem, except that when I login to the admin panel after the upgrade, it simply takes me back to the login, without any kind of message or acknowledgement. I have tried all the solutions posted above… any other ideas? Could this be something I did erroneously in my upload?
