I've had problems from the very first day I installed my blog about a year ago. Basically if I put in any character like ( ’ ) instead of ' and click submit article, it always cuts my article off right there. This happens for virtually any character I try to add to a story.
So I did some digging around the forums and I think I found my problem.
My wp-config file has the following:
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
If I change 'utf8' to 'utf-8' then I can put in all the characters like above into the article and it works.
However:
I went into my server error logs and noticed tons of errors saying it was an unrecognized database type even though it was accepting it.
Obviously I can't just change utf8 to utf-8 and expect it to work properly.
My question:
How do I go about changing the actual database type to match utf-8 so it will work properly without all the errors?
secondly:
why does wpmu come with the config as utf8 instead of utf-8?
Or am I just completely off base here?
All I want is to be able to cut n paste an article without having to make sure it contains no characters at all, it's to much a pain to use that way.
