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

I set the charset to utf-8: , 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.

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

On MySQL both sites have: MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)

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

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.
