Turned out to be simply UTF-8 encoding.

Just some more information on my previous post regarding the odd characters that I’m seeing:

I have Super Cache Compression disabled.

My host is dreamhost.

THANK YOU to Otto42 and donncha: supercache seems to be working well now!!

However, there is one problem: I’m seeing odd characters every once in a while like ? and a€??.

I used to have this problem with wp-cache too. Is there any way to make the odd characters go away, please?

donncha, many thanks for your continued replies. Yes, I did have wp-cache installed before.

so my problem now is I can’t delete wp-cache (or rename it to wp-super-cache) in my dreamhost webftp. you don’t have any thoughts on how to do this do you? I probably need to ask dreamhost support…

I’m also getting a Warning (and my site crashes!) at the following 2 lines of wp-settings.php:

if ( defined(‘WP_CACHE’) )
require (ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/advanced-cache.php’);

If I comment out these 2 lines, then my site works again.

I’ve been trying to debug this for the past couple of hours.

One thing that I’ve found: the symlink for advanced-cache.php is plugins/wp-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php.

Isn’t it supposed to be plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache-phase1.php ?

donncha, many thanks for your prompt reply.

my hosting company is dreamhost. because I am a beginner programmer, I copied the questions that you asked above into an email to dreamhost customer support.

I want to make a correction/clarification regarding my previous post: I believe the html files that I see in wp-content/cache are not from wp-supercache but from my previous attempts at using wp-cache (you probably already figured that out).

In fact, I don’t see a supercache subdirectory with an exact replica of my permalink structure, as you describe on your blog.
