Thanks for responding…
I deactivated/reactivated – didn’t work.
Switched to 2011 – didn’t work.
I reset the plugins folder via phpmyadmin – didn’t work
I did notice that 4 wappa (wordpress photo albums) were set to utf unicode instead of general. But that was an old deleted plugin, so I “dropped” those from the db…and I’m assuming drop is php speak for delete else I’m sure I’ve probably screwed something else up while I was trying to fix it…but the stuff showing is set to utf general.ci
…and it didn’t fix anything, question marks still there
before I upload those folders, is that going to warp every shred of my work or undo everything or will it be a passive sort of fix?
I checked the link and none of that addresses my problem.
Someone else suggested changing the utf-8 to latin and I did that and most of it went away, but the ascii code is showing up. I changed it back, the question marks in little diamonds returned.
I appreciate the suggestions but none of them worked…the encoding is screwy.
It’s strictly the site though, it displays fine everywhere else.
