nissemannen

After failing several times to solve my Norton Internet Security 2005 referrer problem (localized swedish version, not the same layout as the english, therefore hard to follow the english instructions), I found the solution that helped me:

I changed “https://localhost/…” to “https://127.0.0.1” in the “option_value” for siteurl in the “wp_options” table.

As I could not add “localhost” in Norton, just the net address, changing the information in WordPress database instead helped me get rid of my most irritating problem when working with WordPress on localhost.

The problem has recurred!
mysql stores my swedish caracters; I can see them in phpmyadmin. If I open a separate html-page with my mysql-data and charset=iso-8859-1 everything works all-right (but not in utf-8). but when I try to import my data in WordPress it doesn’t – as I use utf-8 in WP.
I’ve tried to change the separate page’s charset to a different charset, but that did’nt help. (And I don’t want to.)

How do I control which charset the data in mysql is put in?
It seems it would be best to have it in utf-8 there?
How do I do that?

Very strange. Today it works! I’ve done nothing but had a good nights sleep:)
Yesterday I had to rewrite every swedish character with special characters. Tonight I don’t!
Well, I better not worry, just accept it…!
