In the end, I had to copy the Loop from the default theme and modify it – it seems I had a few items missing from there. It’s up and working now.
I found this to be due to the utf-8 character encoding. With the new upgrades, WP changes the wp-config.php file to:
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8?);
define(‘DB_COLLATE’=, “);
By simply removing these, your site should return to normal.
Hat tip to Lance Hoff.
I would be curious if you find a resolution. Thus far the WP forum has been quiet on this one and nothing in the bugs section.
Mario – did you have any success in solving your issue? I recently did an upgrade and all of my posts that were in Arabic came out garbled as well as certain characters [“, ‘, “,”, and others…].
Any feedback would be great.
Thanks,
