This command tells MySQL to treat its connections as utf8 (or maybe it automatically converts them to utf8) Thinking back to the previous query I ran that showed the new server was handling all matters in utf8 I had little belief this would work, but tried it anyway as it seemed to solve so many other peoples cases. Sure enough this didn’t work for me. Not the blindest bit of difference. Since the two databases were handling the connections differently, out of curiosity I tried this command instead: $this->query(”SET NAMES ‘latin1′”); To my understanding this *shouldn’t* work… but it does. Anyway, everything is back to normal although I’m a little more confused than I was before.

Oh, yeah, how time flies! My old web server died right before my grandma and mom came to visit me. So not until yesterday was I able to recover here. //sigh Moving to a new server turned out to be a big pain, just like moving to a new place in the real world. All the posts of my other WordPress blog with Chinese characters in UTF-8 encoding got messed up after the import. Considering the fact that the server was already dead, I almost panicked. Luckily, with the help of almighty google search, I found the following site complaining the same issue: Wordpress UTF-8 Charset Woes. I then added the suggested query (”SET NAMES ‘utf8′”) into the wp-db.php and it worked! [...] [...] You may have noticed that it has been over a month since my last post. Oh, yeah, how time flies!
