character encoding in use display name
-
I have changed the encoding in my database, from latin 1 to utf8, and everything is ok except for the display of the usernames set in wordpress “display name” and brougt in to bbpress with the “use dispaly name”-plugin. When I use special characters like swedish å, ä or ö, or e.g. é, they show up like �.
I notice that in the bbpress database, special characters that I use in posts are stored with what I think is utf8 in the DB (e.i. they look strange), but/and they all look ok when displayed in the forum. Names in the wp_users “display_name” however are stored with the latin character but show up wrong.
The conversion was made following this manual: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/06/23/how-to-convert-character-set-and-collation-of-wordpress-database/
Any thoughts on this, anyone?
