[dpaladin]

[yeleyko]

Hi,

Both Ukrainian and Russian are my native tongues, however I do feel comfortable with English forum, so don't care about a new one.
If there are specific "Russian" questions, please write me privately.
I will help with what I can.

Hi, im mexican and im studaying russian language. at first, when i had my blog in wordpress, the title was мой блог but now it can't display cyrilic characters in title, do you know if this is possible?

[yeleyko]

Hi Desde,

I also have one blog in Russian working on WordPress:

Дискуссии и мысли о работе

I've looked through the code of your site and UTF-8 charset should be ok to display Cyrillic characters (my site is using the same and it works fine).

The only thing I can think right now is: being in WP admin panel did you write "Мой блог" directly into PHP code of your installed index.php in "Design/Templates Editor" or did you go to "Settings" and put the name there?
The last method is a correct one.

However if you'd like to have a blog fully in Russian I would strongly recommend just to install Russian version of WordPress.

i did both methods, wrote in index.php and wrote in settings but no one worked. i don'y want everything in russian, just somethings. i saw one of my post where i introduced to everybody to Julia Savicheva and where i wrote her name with cyrilics it show also ????? ????????.

I made some experiments. The problem solved.
You may see results here.

Now how to do it:

1. Using a FTP program go to your folder where WP is installed.
2. Find the file "wp-config.php"
3. CHMOD to 777
4. Upload this file to your computer
5. Make a backup of the file just in case
6. Open the file and change charset to "windows-1251"
LIKE THIS:
<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'a5530655_wpess9'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'a5530655_wpess9'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '7IyHHgbNWSNw'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql1.000webhost.com'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf-8');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

TO:

<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'a5530655_wpess9'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'a5530655_wpess9'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '7IyHHgbNWSNw'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql1.000webhost.com'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
define('DB_CHARSET', 'windows-1251');
define('DB_COLLATE', '');

7. Save the file and upload back to the web folder overwriting the existed file
8. Open WP admin, go to Settings in upper right corner and change the header to whatever you wish
9. Come back to FTP and CHMOD wp-config.php back to the value it was before first change - this is for your security.

Let me know if it worked for you.

[Tuchki]

it works but not for me, because now in every accentued character and in letter ñ it appears a square with a ? inside...

[yeleyko]

your installation of WP was manual or through Fantastico?
this is an interesting challenge, please let me know

[Tuchki]

it was through Fantastico. BEcasue i dont know how to make it manual. if you think that could solve my problem, can yopu tell me how?

thankyou
