Hello everybody.

I have a problem using the twitter timeline plugin.

It works fine so far but when i do a tweet
using special characters (such as: » «, …, or ä, ö, ü and the like)
it generates missing entities.

Example:

this

watching »wanderlust«. new stuff by björk. fantastic :D http://tinyurl.com/2nab2f

becomes this:

watching �wanderlust�. new stuff by bj�rk. fantastic :D http://tinyurl.com/2nab2f

my document is set to use utf-8.
also it works well on localhost.

this is most probably an html issue i guess.
any hints?

thanks!

bw. that björk video is fantastic :D

I have the same problem here on a german website ...

Do you have a link to the site where it’s happening? I find it always helps to see encoding issues first hand.

www.dertho.de

Site is timeing out for me. (Error 2013, Lost connection to MySQL server during query). I’ll try again in a little while.

Working fine now, did you change anything? All data is in UTF-8, so you need to declare it that way, but it looks like your doing that already.

Yeah, sorry. I’m using now the official twitter badge:

I am testing the plugin here, and it’s fine, too. So, whatever works for you.
