remove_accents() doesn’t work anymore here

    Hi —

    I’m using this on one template :

    <a href="http://www.site.com/search/siteall?q=<?php remove_accents(the_title()) ; ?>&x=0&y=0&s=date" target="_blank">Site</a>

    …to search based on a page title, with accents removed first.

    It did work when I set it up, two days ago. Now I’m trying it with that same template, and it doesn’t. Puzzling.

    “remove_accents(the_title())” does the same as “the_title()”

    Could that be a plugin conflicting? Something wrong in my syntax?

    Any hint or troubleshooting help greatly appreciated as this is breaking several pages of my live site (can’t publish the url here unfortunately).

    I tried deactivating newly installed plugins one by one, but no luck.

    Could a plugin interfere with this?

    Could that be cache related?

    What else could I check?

    I’m both puzzled and a bit anxious, as these pages are live, and search results are broken for these.

    If I put the Codex test code:

    <?php
$text = "Hoy será un gran día";
echo remove_accents ( $text );
?>

    …in that same template, it DOES work. SO there must be something wrong with my syntax.

    Again, with this:

    <a href="http://www.site.com/search/siteall?q=<?php remove_accents(the_title()) ; ?>&x=0&y=0&s=date" target="_blank">Site</a>

    …accents don’t get removed from “the_title”.

    Could someone jump in?

    Many thanks.

    Try:

    <a href="http://www.site.com/search/siteall?q=<?php echo remove_accents(the_title('','',false)) ; ?>&x=0&y=0&s=date" target="_blank">Site</a>
