Ah cool, that might help some people.
I use Notepad++ by the way and have it set to save in UTF8 by default. It’s easy enough to change though.
Once you know the problem that is.
Holy cow, good catch! It’s working now. Thank you again.
I’m already using your translation goebelmasse, thank you. Just turned it off for testing.
These strange characters you pointed out show up even if the content of config-bb.php is nothing but a PHP start and end tag. (I have no blank lines before or after the PHP tags.)
I think it must be some problem with the keys. I basically used all the keys from the wp-config.php with “BB_” added to the start of the keyname.
define(‘BB_AUTH_KEY’, ”);
define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_KEY’, ”);
define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_KEY’, ”);
define(‘BB_NONCE_KEY’, ”);
define(‘BB_AUTH_SALT’, ”);
define(‘BB_LOGGED_IN_SALT’, ”);
define(‘BB_SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ”);
The keys I use are all from the WP generator: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/
On the WP blog I have the plugin “Limit Login Attempts” installed (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/limit-login-attempts/). I have tried turning that off, to no avail.
