Wordpress glitch - need help
 

Anyone know what would cause a bunch of wordpress blogs to suddenly have old posts starting to get weird characters appearing in them?

For instance, apostrophe's get replaced with weird characters, and sometimes words will be surrounded by characters like this: Â

Seems to happen only on hand written posts too. I don't think my RSS feeds are being affected.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I haven't done anything about it since it does interfere with much.

I see apostrophe's are being replaced with ’

Really a pain in the ass. Seems like it just started this week for me.

Affecting all my blogs which are on the same server.

I'm still using an older version, (haven't upgraded yet) so I am not sure why it would just appear out of nowhere.

Found this. I guess I will try this out.

It happened to me first when I upgraded from WP 1.5 to the 2.0 platform and only on old posts.

Thanks for posting that.

Yeah this is too bad!!

Yup, caused by character encoding :) if you use utf-8 all the time however, you'll be fine.
