BuddyPress with danish letters

  • I have established a buddypress test site, where my friends are invited to test the programme.
    Danish version of WP and and standard BP theme

    But we have now discovered a problem: the use of Danish letters æ ø å is not possible when establishing a new user account.

    What to do?

    If the ‘ meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ ‘ in page head doesn’t help (it also didn’t help to me for Sk.) then placing ‘AddDefaultCharset UTF-8’ line into your .htaccess file will do it for you! :)

    Without the two ‘ just like below. Let me know whether it’s what you want. Make sure you save/upload the file in Text ASCII mode (not like images that transfer in Binary mode – your site could go blank till you re-upload it properly.) The file editor in cpanel does this safely if you aren’t sure.

    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

    If you use this in .htaccess file you will no longer need to include that meta tag in the head. BTW MYSQL is UTF-8 default also so no worries at all.

    If it’s your apache server you can change this directly in the ‘httpd.conf’ file. I think Apache’s internal default charset is iso-8859-1.

    1) the link is http://sms.ronnespejder.dk It is in Danish (it is not complete, I am in the process of making a new language file in Danish)

    2) I have changed the meta line in the header – but it didn’t solved the problem.

    3) I can only see one .htaccess which has following content:

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    # END WordPress

    Where do I place the ‘AddDefaultCharset UTF-8’ text-string (without ‘) ?

    4) I am using a web-hotel

    The problem with Danish letters in usernames is not a BuddyPress problem but a WordPress.

    I solved using a plugin from http://oneconsult.dk/wordpress/cleaner
    Thanks to http://wordpress.dk/forum/ and maxemil2

    I have it in htaccess file as per below, I am sure it will correct the letters.

    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

    # END WordPress
