I just did a delete and then total clean install of version 2.2 and got all those ascii replacements throughout most posts which used many different kinds of punctuation.
It did not matter what theme. I upgraded another blog a few hours earlier and no problems. However…
This time I had USED THE BRAND-NEW CONFIG.PHP FILE (first new one I’ve ever seen and I almost didn’t look at it).
As soon as I read this thread, I READ THIS LINE ABOVE:
Or any other editor, which supports UTF-8,
and remembered seeing that line on the New config.php file.
I deleted the new and put back in the old and everything was perfect again. This is the first ever problem I’ve had with a WordPress install (script-wise) in about 40 installs and upgrades since May 2004.
Whahoppened??
