Hi,

Suddenly all my icons have been replaced by Chinese characters. e.g. the left and right arrows on the revolution slider on my front page here howdoidate.com.

Any idea how I can fix?

Thanks.

Hello,

I have checked your website and it seems fine at the moment: http://screencast.com/t/sgiNODSInVr5
Let us know if you managed to fix it or it is a random error.
P.S. we have encountered this issue before, and mainly this solution worked for most users: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/71630/font-blocked-from-loading-by-cross-origin-resource-sharing-policy-no-access-co

I am having the same problem, and have tried the above solution; to no avail. All characters in the menus are Chinese: http://www.WePeeStandingUp.com. I’m using chrome.

Hi,
Please check your website again as it no longer displays the strange characters. (Probably caching)
Thank you!

i have the same problem with 9gag-greece.com

Hi,
9gag-greece no longer has this issue. After you add the code in htaccess, please make sure you clear cache as it will be affected by it and also reset the cdn files. (they update automatically after a period of time but in order to see the immediate effect of your modification you need to reset/clear them)
Thank you.

The solution to the problem is to put the line of code from this link on top of the htaccess file. Literally put it on top, not inside the other lines of code, but just on top.

Not the whole thing or else it will screw up your webpage. Just this part: Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin “*”

Make sure you copy from StackExchange so it copy and pastes correctly, because the htacess file is one of the most delicate parts of operation.

Resolve not my Problem.. Chinese Symbols are still there.

Hi,
The method posted here works. you have to copy the code from stackexchange, not this forum as the quotation marks get rewritten by the forum style and the htaccess file will not recognize them and clear cache afterwards.
Thank you!

Hi,
Try to put the code on top of the other code as @branch1 suggested above or as @rovito suggested. DO NOT copy the code from here. Get it from stackexchange and clear cache afterwards.
Thank you!

Hi guys,

Only for those who using a proxy server domain is good to use that snnipet.

For users that not using any CDN, inspect your preferred domain!!!

In your case @neermargran you serve files from “another” domain. I mean, your default domain begins with www (http://www.lopak.org) but you serve your stylesheets & javascripts from the same domain, but without “www” (http://lopak.org).

Hi

I’ev checked your site and noticed that the fonts are served from http while your site url includes also www: http://screencast.com/t/EKyVMk5qpk
Check your permalink structure under Settings in your wp and make sure that the urls are the same here: http://screencast.com/t/06FxXLOieO

Hola, tengo el mismo problemon..
como encuentro el archivo: “htacces”, en mi hosting o en cuenta de WordPress? dame los pasos por favor, mil gracias

Hi

That file is located in wordpress root folder and to access it you will need to login on the server via ftp. Try to login on the server using a ftp client program like filezila, navigate to your wp-install folder and you should find .htaccess file there.

Thanks!
