Arabic text on Wordpress..HELP!

06Aug08

Dear Wordpress experts,

I can’t blog in Arabic, whatever I write in Arabic turns into question marks immediately the moment I hit the “Save” or “Publish” button! I can’t even view my old Arabic posts (no one can). Any idea how to fix this??

I think you need to change the font to unicode. place ur question on their forum

have you re-installed or upgraded WordPress lately? if so, its most likely an database issue, your DB should be set to Unicode UTF-8 before the re-installation/upgrade.

Thanks for leaving a comment Bakkouz! so, how can I fix this now??

no worries Shaden, as i suspected its a database issue.. Qabbani contacted me and I’ve passed on the solution and the process is underway do you still have the old DB before the transfer? if yes then it can be easily fixed, if not then we got a problem :\

All,

Thank you! Appreciate your help.

Bakkouz, I’m not sure I still have the old DB but I’ll check with Qabbani as soon as I can.
