Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moved WordPress but lost special charactersI had (I have, actually…) a similar problem when I copy my database to my test site. I think it’s a problem of the hosting provider, in terms of upload capabilities, especially if have to import a big database. Try the alternative upload option, suggested by Podz: a copy and paste of single chunks of your database, from within phpMyAdmin. Full instructions here:

In reply to: Weird characters after exporting databaseThanks, I’ve actually modified, in the destination server (using phpMyAdmin) the collation, from latin to utf. Then, I’ve exported the modified database, and reinstalled in the destination server. A little bit clumsy…I think it works now…

In reply to: Weird characters after exporting databaseThanks, I will try your suggestion.
In my source database, characters are by default in latin1_swedish_ci. When I import in the destination server, by default phpMyAdmin proposes utf-8.
When I imported database changing this option to latin1_swedish_ci, I got several more “damaged” characters.
What do I have to do to get characters converted by default in utf-8 in my source server?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Weird characters after exporting databaseAnyone? I used phpMyAdmin for the transfer, maybe it helps. I should add that, checking for similar questions, I ‘ve found similar questions, but no definitive solutions. Thanks again.

In reply to: Moving to another server: blank screenThe active theme was signaled as broken. I reverted to the default theme and it worked. Back on the “broken” theme, and it works too!

In reply to: Doorhost.net, a nightmare…I’ve been with them since january. First of all, let me tell you that I totally agree on the HUGE commitment by Eric (the founder) in solving problems. That’s why I decided to keep my account with them, even when the situation was very difficult. I’m talking about several downtimes a day, between April and July. In a case, I had a 7 hour-downtime without having a feedback. After I asked to move my account to another server the situation has greatly improved. In the last month or so, I have no knowledge af any downtime. So, now I can say that I’m pleased of staying with them, but I had tough times…!

In reply to: Max comment lengthI’m using Semiologic 2.5.4. After those comments, the sidebar disapperared. I have removed those 2 comments, and the sidebar came back…I made a cut and paste of them on Word: a total of 56 pages, Verdana 10 points. Actually, something very similar to a book chapter…!

In reply to: Advanced cache errorI had wp-cache active, but no significant improvement in access times, that’s why I suspect several plugins may be potentially harmful, for the site and the hosting provider, in terms of database stress…

May I ask a question? Is it safe to keep on using wp-cache? May I safely reload it?Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Advanced cache errorThanks Podz, where do I find wp-config file? Do I have to delete a specific line?
