MySQL update on Gentoo broke my WordPress blog
13.04.2006
This weeks update of MySQL on Gentoo introduced UTF-8 as the default character set. This is without doubt the right decision. But it caused some trouble with wordpress.
Basically, the title fields of WordPress posts were stored utf8 encoded in the database, this caused them to be displayed like
Hersteller von Heizkesseln für Holz
So, I've update my Script to convert Wordpress’ content encoding to cope with that. It updates the table and fields to use UTF-8 as encoding and collation and optionally decodes utf8 encoded content. Se the change log for details.
