@Mrasnika and @Sp0nky : Thanks to both of you.

@ Everyone – Yes, just simply copy paste the full new code (full – do not miss ?> at the end!),

1. Go to Installed Plugins > UTF8 Sanitize > Click Edit > Select all the code and delete (wp-utf8-sanitize/wp-utf8-sanitize.php) > Paste the new > Click Update file.

2. A minor thing – Â is not leaving (for me) those more odds are eradicated though – http://thecustomizewindows.com/2011/08/cloud-hosting-for-wordpress-blog-why-we-need-to-think-about-it/ ; there were more odd chars there, those are gone now. Probably I have to make the hand dirty with PhpMyAdmin…still thanks to both of you. There are two versions of Â – with space and without!

3. Seems that Google crawler always reads rightly the meta and content, it does not matter odds are in or not. Its painful for the readers though.

I figure out how to convert the plugin in phpriot.com
But even with that latest version, I still have to use the first option to resolve the UTF 8 problem.

Ok, I figure out how to fix the title header.

The code in phpriot,com, one just need to copy it into notepad and change the extension to php, is that right?

Thanks.

Your plugin definitely solve my website problem but only if I choose the first option ‘Correct the chars when editing/saving the posts’, it’s not working though.

I have another issue, the title that appears on the browser’s tab, my website head is showing the weird characters as well. Title bar if I’m not wrong. I’ve already edit the my website title description but it’s still showing that weird character. Can you advise how to fix it?

Secondly, that version in phpriot.com, I just copy the code and convert it into php using notepad, right?

Thanks again for your plugin.

Found another method:

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, "Ã¥", "å");
etc...

Oh sorry, this isn’t WP3 after all. I recently updated a few other sites to WP3, so then I thought this Site was too. But no, this blog is running WP2.7.1.
The Problem is that if I enable ‘Outputting Posts’ in the Options Page, this setting is not saved. If I reload the Options Page again the tick before ‘Outputting Posts’ is gone. So it seems I can’t get that activated.

I have to test it, but in general what’s the problem with WP3 — is the plugin crashing, or it is not working, or … what ? Please be more specific.

I have trouble getting this plugin to work here on WP3. Do you know more about when the new version will be ready?

Wow, finally a plugin that works! Now my only problem is I have to fix my posts, does enabling the ‘saving posts’ option mean I have to manually edit and save all 380 posts on my blog?

[...] after database export after export after export, and with the help of a WordPress plug-in designed specifically to fix this dumbness, I think I have it all finally straightened-out. Everything’s moved over to the new host, and [...]
