Thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble.

Tried with ascii code and it worked for the @ but this one ? disappear after update the page.

With the keyboard.
Making some testing I realize that this is not related only to wordpress, it’s happening with joomla or phpbb too.

Same thing.

Yes, it’s a fresh wordpress install.
I will disable Helloy Dolly and Akismet, the only ones avtive.

It’s a new installation and this was not happening before with new installations.
I will check it.

Yes, that what I mean when I edit the page.

It’s was supposed to display estación. a?o

The wordpress accent marks are ok the issue is when creating/editing pages or post.

Strange, Please check this https://avorconsulting.com.uy/prueba/

I have added this page to be the front page of site so you could see it.

Question what encoding should I use for mysql and php?

@kmessinger https://avorconsulting.com.uy/test/

I’m the owner of the server and I have set apache and php to utf-8 encoding also checked the database of the site and it’s set to utf8_general_ci.

At this time I have changed it making some tests but still the same issue.

Accent letters are deleted and ? are shown as “?”, all was working fine some days ago.

I’m still investigating but is really strange this.

Thanks.

Made some testing, and seems to be happening in with old versions too, I have tested it with 3.5 and above and same issue, but if I edit the table wp_post and add the letter with the accent mark it works, but if I update the page it’s deleted.
Also tried with a simple html file and the accents are displayed OK.

Making some testing I see that if I add in a new page the special character and select a accent mark letter “á” or “?” and update the page then it’s showed as “?”

@shufflehound
The plugins where all active, I designed the site using them, really strange what happened here.
I have deleted them and reinstalled it and same issue, it’s strange due to that if I edit the page I can see the content in the widgets of page builder but when I edit it it’s missing.

Check what I mean: Image you could see in maskkito slogan the text “Quienes Somos” but if you open it is empty

I also asked for support at page builder forum, still waiting for a reply.

Really appreciated the help.

It’s done, thanks.

Let me know if you need anything else.
