I moved over a development site to the client’s hosting server using the WP Clone plugin. It seemed to work just fine, until I noticed a bunch of odd question marks where things like em-dashes and apostrophes should be.
It appears to be a unicode issue, but the only difference I can tell between the two servers is that the client-side is using utf8mb4_unicode_c and my development server is using utf8_unicode_ci.
If I copy and paste a page from the development side to the client side, it displays fine – but I’d rather not have to do that for the entire site (50-plus pages plus a few dozen posts).
I tried exporting the database table from the development site and importing it on the client side, but that led to a bunch of warning messages and everything on the client home page linked back to the development site.
Any ideas on how I can fix this, short of a manual cut-and-paste job?
Thanks!
