Webfont Roboto punctuation issue
4 replies · Started by Nancy on May 30, 2019
Hi,
I'm seeing question marks instead of punctuation. I thought it might be a UTF-8 issue but I see it marked.
I've tried several fonts but still seeing the issue. This is on a staging site and I have purged the cache.
Is there something else that might be going on?
Thanks,
N
Hi there,
Did you copy/paste your blog post titles from somewhere? What happens if you re-type them?
Hi Tom,
Not personally no but it might be a staff member did. But it was fine before migrating to the staging server. After the move, the issue in titles (only place that shows up) is the problem. We had a different theme.
Retyping (removing) the error does fix it, unfortunately we are talking over 200 posts.
Thanks for the response,
Nancy
Hi Tom,
Found the issue. The configuration file no longer had the following set:
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');
Putting that back in helped. I did lose some settings in the Customizer like the footer credits but that is easy to put back.
Thought I would share that in case anyone else comes across that. The webhost had done a file edit to comment something out and must have been accidentally deleted perhaps.
Thanks,
Nancy
Weird, glad you found the issue. Thanks for sharing! :)
