Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Special Characters for French are not displayed

Hi

I have two blogs with wordpress 3. One with the wordpress theme by default (Blog1) and the other other with atahualpa 3.5.1 theme (blog2).

With the blog2 , i can not see the special french characters in my homepage.However in the blog1 I can see these french characteres.

My wordpress and atahualpa is in english . I've put the french po,mo in wordpress/content folder. I don't use the atahualpa french files .



Thanks

Does this problem only occur when viewing excerpts?

Yes, only with the excerpts.
I've tested with « read more» and it works well.

What's happening is you have some non-printing characters that are causing problems. WordPress by default strips html tags from from excerpts. Atahualpa has a setting in ATO>Configure EXCERPTS to only show excerpts or full posts on various pages. You can set this to show full posts and the issue goes away. I have no way to experiment but perhaps there is something you can add to Don's strip these tags? to fix it as well.

If you PM me a login and password I could take a look.

Wordpress 3.4.1, Atahualpa 3.7.7
I have a similar problem, and I'm sure it's Wordpress, not the theme. I want to use the word puree with the acute accent in the body of a post and in the headline. It works fine in the body but not in the headline. Obviously, Wordpress is stripping out the diacritical marks in the headline.

I'll research it at wordpress.org, but if anybody has a quick fix, I'm all ears.

UPDATE:

OK, I found the solution to my problem. While you can use the Omega icon to bring up special characters in Tiny MCE Advanced and then paste them within a post in Visual mode, to add one to the headline, you must switch to HTML mode. You paste in the special character, and when you publish, you'll see the special character. Voila! http://www.larchmontgazette.com/dine...sparagus-soup/

And I have tried those same characters in both the body and the title and they show just fine in both excerpts and full text. I am using the ascii code to insert them. Is that how you are as well Paula? How about you Shirley?
