    Hi,

    Recently transfered our MODX Revolution 2.0.3.pl site to a new hosting. In the original site, apostrophes and other characters show up just fine, however in the new site, they are being replaced by a character is the form of a square.

    Please help me figure this out, what needs to be done please?

    Thank you,

    Alex C.

    Sounds like your charset is messed up. Can you post what character set your site is using?

    Check the tables and the individual fields to make sure they are UTF-8 as well. And check the character set in core/config/config.inc.php. It definitely sounds like a character set issue.

    It's possible that this would help: http://bobsguides.com/convert-db-utf8.html

    I set the charset to utf-8: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" />, and it works now. It was set to something else before.

    The one thing I have now is why would it work for one site and not the other? But that's more of a curiosity, it is fine now which is the really important thing.

    Thanks for your help.

    I suspect it's a case of a slightly different server configuration, in the past it was fine, just needed to be tweaked a touch
