    I think you've got it. I had to restore my database last Sunday so that's what is causing the problem. How do I fix? Do I have to do a find and replace in phpmyadmin for the offending characters, or is there a better solution?


  • That happened to my site about a year ago - not quite sure what caused it, but I'm pretty sure it happened after I upgraded Wordpress at some point.Never did find a fix - I just changed them back as I found them while doing work on the site - not at all a good way, but I think I've now got most sorted, still find the odd corruption here and there on older posts.Not much help to you given the number of posts you've got here, sorry man.

    hope it works

  • Wordpress has troubles during upgrade if you use a new wp-config file. To fix this issue delete (or put // before) the following two lines

    define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
    define('DB_COLLATE', '');
