Still not resolved and yes, the database and tables are utf8.
Data containing for example: Åâ逥 äëö
can be retrieved from the database, displays fine, but posts cannot be edited – posts and custom fields are truncated or corrupted on submission.
Thanks for the input.
As I said – on a new install, no plugins, using Twenty Ten, the result is the same.
I have made some progress with one of the sites by changing the value for Encoding to ISO-8859-1 in /wp-admin/options-reading.php
But this didn’t work for the clean blog, the editor still truncated or corrupted content when it hit a european character.
However, used in combination with your suggestion of commenting out the to wp-config lines, it does seem to be working now. Thanks for the suggestion. I had already tried it with a variety of values and with no values without getting the result I needed.
Had this happen when I changed time zones in the blog settings. A post I had just put up was published, but had a time stamp in the future.
Fix in this case was to sort out the time stamp.
