I installed a brand new wordpress blog and when I search for posts, the umlauts are displayed the wrong way in the search results:
I get Lange bevor es in Amerika die ersten Blockhäuser gab but what I expect is Lange bevor es in Amerika die ersten Blockhäuser gab.
The “ä” becomes “ä” for some reason. On the site itself and in the source code it looks ok, its a “ä”. The db charset is utf 8. Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks!
This means that proper Content-Type header is not sent or is sent with the wrong encoding. If it’s not sent at at all, you can use .htaccess or apache config:
You should check what is in the Content-Type header by using Google Chrome Developer Tools Network tab when visiting the page or similar tool.
