Charset / sepcial characters issue after WordPress update

Hi,

Some special characters of the theme don´t show up correctly anymore. It seems to have to do with the WordPress Upgrade to version 4.6.1 which I did recently. (see http://www.winbuzzer.com)

– search button in header menu
– social symbols in footer

I have tried to fix it myself but cannot get it done.

This does not fix my problem – I have currently this entries in my .htaccess

# FIX: Chinese Symbols on top and footer social media icons

<FilesMatch “\.(ttf|otf|eot|woff|woff2)$”>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin “*”
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>

# Set PHP default-charset
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
php_value default_charset UTF-8

Give the link of your file .htaccess from the site http://pastebin.com/

Hi

Have you made the changes exactly as was recommended in the thread indicated by @Edward ? Also make sure you purge the cdn, clear the caches then test the site again.
Thanks!

Hi,

yes – I have implemented the .htaccess rule as you can see here:

The Cache plugin cache has been deleted and the Cloudflare CDN cache was purged after this change.

Nevertheless, the issue is still there. Strangely on the mobile version it looks just fine.

HI

I’ve checked your site again and noticed that the urls are different as can be seen from this screen: http://screencast.com/t/SsOmwMtmfoI
Please make sure that the permalink structure is the same in WordPress settings: http://screencast.com/t/muByimtp Also check this link for more details about a proper setup the code for each server: https://www.w3.org/wiki/CORS_Enabled

Thanks!

Hi,
