   Hello!

   I've just set up my wordpress blog and set the encoding to iso-8859-7. The problem is when I submit my post it doesn't save my post and it just saves it as a blank post (blank title, blank message & tags).

   When I enter only English characters in the post, it works just fine. The characters are inserted in the database.

   This happens only with Greek characters. Please tell me what I need to do.

   Thanks in advance,
   George.

   Why did you mess with the encoding?
   utf-8 was "invented" to work with ALL languages.

   It didn't worked with utf-8 either. I just submit the form and it doesn't save anything in the table. Like I didn't filled in any fields.

   I just tryed on a brand new 2.3 install to copy Greek text in the title field and in the content - it always works.

   Hey guys the problem was with mySQL. I am a programmer myself and that never happened to me before. I mean why a form can't insert Greek characters in a table?

   And the answers is because of the table collocation. I executed this command:
   ALTER TABLE wp_posts CHANGE post_content post_content LONGTEXT CHARACTER SET greek COLLATE greek_general_ci NOT NULL ,
   CHANGE post_title post_title TEXT CHARACTER SET greek COLLATE greek_general_ci NOT NULL ,
   CHANGE post_excerpt post_excerpt TEXT CHARACTER SET greek COLLATE greek_general_ci NOT NULL

   Now it works just fine :)

   Thanks guys!
