# 2.0.7 changes character set encoding

 * 2.0.0 led to that MVC-Error so I deactivated NextGEN
 * Just updated to 2.0.7 and activated it
    Galleries show up again, but lightbox
   is not working.
 * Main problem:
 * the character set changes to ISO-8859-1 in Chrome, and Windows-1252 in Firefox.
   Making the blog unreadable. (Sourcecode shows UTF-8.)
 * If I deactivate NextGEN the encoding is UTF-8 and the content shows up correctly
   in all browsers. Activating again: Bü ßen
 * German translation package does not work neither.
 * What to do with the encoding? That’s the prior problem. 🙁
 * Please help.

 * ok, found out another hint:
 * starting with the wrong encodet blogpost with images in thumbnail-view.
 * when you switch to slideshow-view (the link above the images) the encoding turns
   into correct UTF-8.
    (But opens the single article-view if you do this from the
   mainpage.)
 * Back to “thumbnail-view”: wrong encoding.
 * Perhaps this helps to find the solution.

 * install nextgen 2.0 again and “reset settings to standart options” link under
   the gallery menu (at the end of gllry menu in 2.0 version), then remove the nextgen
   gallery 2.0 from ftp, then upload 2.0.7 then re-activate nextgen 2.0.7 plugin
   and change your last settings from gallery menu other option display settings…
   choose lightbox or fancybox… others have problems… mvc error must be gone … I
   correct my problem in this way. but this is not an absolutely solition, ı saw
   some forum sites, there is a bug about mvc templates in 2.0.7 version… I DONT
   Know its real ! I saw it only …

 * Thanks for answer.
 * With 2.0 nothing worked at all. Only the MVC-Error on the site, no further posts
   or pages showed up. I had to deactivate NextGEN to see my blog at all. Without
   pictures though but it was to read again at least.
 * MVC Error was gone since update to 2.0.7 and the blog showed up again with NextGEN
   activated. Since then I got the encoding errors, missing lightbox, a white page
   when adding files in a new post using NextGen-Gallery etc.
    Uploading only works
   with the normal WordPress Editor facilities.
 * I tested all lightbox effects (lightbox, fancybox, thickbox). Nothing. works.
 * I do not have FTP access to the site so I can not rollback to any previous version(
   it’s a huge but non profit site, a project for children which I “admin” for free).
   
   If I had FTP access data, my choice would be 1.9.13, which worked great.
 * I will wait for anything to happen.
    What means: a working update or any quick
   solution for the wrong endcoding I can edit with the plugin-editor.

 * [@behadel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/behadel/), [@acemiprof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acemiprof/):
   The MVC template error has been resolved.
 * On the encoding issue, if you are willing, can you please submit a bug report
   with WordPress and FTP credentials? We’re working on that issue right now:

 * Ok. Thanks so much.
 * Update 2.0.11 did it
 * No more encoding mess. -> working fine
    —
 * thickbox now OK
    fancybox now OK lightbox now OK
 * all 3 worked after editing the URL that included mysteriously full server path
   in between.
 * – (Show Advanced Settings)
    – Stylesheet URL and Javascript URL and deleted the“
   var/www/html/username” – part of all URLS.
 * From:
    [http://www.mydomain.com/var/www/html/username/wp-content/plug…](http://www.mydomain.com/var/www/html/username/wp-content/plug…)
 * into
    [http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plug…](http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plug…)
 * And so it worked.
 * This issue can be closed.
 * (Concerning issues I got with upload and insert a gallery into post I am going
   to look for a correspondend thread).
 * This one is resolved.
