Howdy folks. :)
Normally when I upgrade to a new version, from time to time I get some weird symbols that appear through my posts. In the past I have been able to take care of that my removing 2 lines of code in my wp-config file. Looks like this:
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
I upgraded to 2.7 and I got those symbols again so I opened the wp-config file and uh oh.. It looks completely different and I can't seem to find these definitions. Any ideas on how to remedy this problem in 2.7 ??
Thanks for your time
Oops found them. I had opened the wrong file. But just to let others know you can find them in 2.7 appearing like this:
/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

Hi there, I'm having a similar issue on a client's site, but when I open the wp-config.php file I don't see what you're referring to. There's hardly anything in there. Can you confirm it should be the wp-config file?
Update: It *is* the wp-config.php file - my client had a very old version in there. However, that didn't seem to fix the problem. Boo. :(
Thanks!

I am experiencing this problem too. I am seeing these characters showing up everywhere:

I tried commenting out the following lines in wp-config.php but that didn't help, any ideas?
//define('DB_COLLATE', '');
//define('DB_CHARSET', '');
I had the same problem after the upgrade to 2.7
After reading this I deleted
"/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
/** The Database Collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */
define('DB_COLLATE', '');"
from my wp-config.php.
This sorted it out.
