WordPress.org

   Friend of mine tried to install WP on his site but couldn't get it working because the url had two dashes in the name. Like for instance:

   word--press.org

   When you viewed the source the links to the styesheet where messed up. Instead of url being dashes it was "& # 8 2 1 1;". So for instance it looks like this:

   word& # 8 2 1 1;press.org

   I had to add the spaces in order for it to show up right. Otherwise it looks like a single dash.

   Now in the functions.php there is some function in there that calls rawurlencode(), but according to that the "-" character is NOT supposed to get encoded.

   – –
   Anyone have an idea of what's going on?

   lot of help you guys where :P

   
$curl = str_replace('--', '& # 8 2 1 1;', $curl);


   Deleting that line in wp-includes\functions-formatting.php fixed the problem.
