Well, I figured it out… just in case anyone else needs to know all I did was go to my phpMyAdmin and check the database for the Collation. In my database it happens to be latin1_swedish_ci I have no idea why but that’s what it said… So I opened wp_config.php and added the Collation code to it as follows:
The following line was left blank by default:
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);
I simply changed it to:
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ‘latin1_swedish_ci’);
and uploaded it and it fixed the problem.
I hope that helps others.
