    Hi, I'm having problems with the character encoding on a WP/BBpress integrated site. In WP, I can tell the system to encode the page in ISO-8859-1 (which is necessary in this case), in bbpress I don't know how. I declare the doctype and the meta-content-charset in the theme's header, but as opposed to the WP pages, the bbpress generated ones are encoded as UTF-8. Looking at the page properties in Firefox, I can see "encoding: UTF-8" and "meta information... charset:ISO-8859-1".

    Can someone help, please? Thanks in advance!

  2. In your .htaccess file put
    AddDefaultCharset iso-8859-1

    Actually, I'm seeing in the header.php template
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

    Which would have to be edited directly.
