[resolved] Foreign characters scrambled after upgrade (3 posts)

    I upgraded to WordPress 2.2.2 using Fantastico through my host.

    Big mistake since certain post that I have written in Arabic are now jibberish.

    Should I downgrade or is there something else I need to do?

    You may need to add these to your wp-config.php file:

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

    thanks MichaelH, although those two lines were already there i looked further into it and found that the problem was solved when i changed them to:

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