Umlauts and “add metatags”

    Hi,

    I´m “using add metags” on my wordpress.
    You can see my site here: http://www.rezepte-indonesien.de
    It works fine so far, but when I´m typing in Umlauts, i get problems.

    I also installed “o42-clean-umlauts”, which works fine for the site, but not for the umlauts.

    I tried to type in the umlauts as “ü,ö” and they didn´t got transformed to &uuml,&ouml and showing up still as “ü,ö” in the cource text of the site.

    Then I typed in directly in unicode &#-252;, &#-246;, (the “-” is just in to display what I typed in) but it didn´t work either. WordPress transforms them to ü, &amp#246;.

    “o42-clean-umlauts” didn´t seem to have any influence on it, because I tested it with the activated and deactivated plugin, also I couldn´t find any transforming in the add metatag plugin PHP-file.

    Does WordPress itself already transform the “&” somewhere and when, where can I find it (and kick this transforming out, or put the ä,ö,.. in?

    Any idea, how to solve this problem?

    Thanks for any help,
    Marc

    Hi there, you could try installing tiny MCE advanced.
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/
    This gives you the option of using a button in visual editor to insert custom characters. It includes umlauts as “ü,ö”
    I find it very useful, as I often have to write in German and Spanish.
    hope it helps you.
    mike.

    PS. THe good thing about this, is that it brings up a character chart with the html code and the numeric unicode as well.
