Yeah, think something was rather seriously messed up here. Fortunately I had a fresh backup, so I decided to surrender and just delete the blog and then re-install it. I’m back on track now, and this time I don’t think I’m gonna mess around with the charset:-)

Thanks for your help guys!

And by the way, if anybody is interested I discovered that it must have been something in the code in the sidebar.php file that stopped me from using the theme editor. When I removed the code below I suddenly was allowed to use the editor.

<h2>Ord for dagen</h2>
<ul class=”files”>
<script language=”JavaScript”>

var Quotation=new Array(1) // do not change this!

Quotation[0] = “I knew him when he was nothing and he hasn’t changed a bit (Tom Waits).”;
Quotation[1] = “I’m so goddamn horny the crack of dawn better watch itself around me (Tom Waits).”;
Quotation[2] = “It was a hubba, hubba, ding dang, baby you are just everythang. A week later it’s a hubba, hubba, ding dong, baby sure didn’t last too long (Tom Waits).”;
Quotation[3] = “If I exorcise my devils, well my angels may leave too (Tom Waits).”;

…and a whole lot of quotes before the code ends with this bit:

// ======================================
// Do not change anything below this line
// ======================================
var Q = Quotation.length;
var whichQuotation=Math.round(Math.random()*(Q-1));
function showQuotation(){document.write(Quotation[whichQuotation]);}
showQuotation();
</script>

Something to do with the javascript maybe?

If you don’t use the visual rich text editor, or what ever it’s called, you get one line when you hit enter.

You can turn it off in your options somewhere.

Sure. I too have just one charset option on the reading option page, but when I change that to UTF-8 and presses the apropriate button I get directed to a new options page wich you can see a picture of here: (Bad picture but you get an idea)

And for some reason I’m not allowed to change the charset option here even though it tells me that the the settings has been updated.

I wonder if the installation has been messed up in some way.

Yeah, when I switched to textpad instead of notepad it worked like a dream. Hey,I’m learning something new everyday with my new wordpressinstall:-)

In my WordPress options page. I can change one of them, but not the other. It just gets returned to UTF-7 everytime.

Yeah, clearing the cache didn’t help, and as far as I can see via phpMyAdmin the mySQL database is set to use UTF-8.

Hmmm…I’m in overmy head here. I’ll call for backup:-)

The RSS importer didn’t work for me, but the XML-plugin did. Comments and posts with no problem whatsoever.

The only little glitch is that any pictures you have uploaded to wp.com gets imported as posts as well.

The Plug-ins look good, but why aren’t I able to change back to UTF-8?

There is a wordpress to wordpress plug-in that worked fine for me anyway.

Yeah, I guess I will, but you now how it is when you first have started to itch…it’s hard to keep from scratching.

Thanks anyway:-)

Thank you for the Entity tips, I didn’t know about that:-)

Yes, I’m sure that the permissions are set correctly, and to make the confusion complete:

I just discovered that I can use the Theme Editor to edit several of the theme-files. I haven’t tried all of them, but it seems like it’s only the sidebar.php bit that won’t work in the editor. And the permissions ARE 777. I don’t understand this at all, thank god for computers or else I wouldn’t know what to do with my time!
