New WordPress Jetpack 2.0 plugin update comes with great Publicize module, that all of wordpress.com users love. But there is a problem with publicize posts in Facebook, special characters from various languages are not shown right. Instead that characters the html code is shown in their place.
There is quick fix for this problem, you should go to your dashboard, than plugins and editor.
Chose Jetpack by WordPress.com and click sellect, than on right find jetpack/modules/publicize.php and than in the file find this line:
$string = mb_convert_encoding( $string, ‘HTML-ENTITIES’, ‘UTF-8′ );
and add // before this line, it should look like this:
//$string = mb_convert_encoding( $string, ‘HTML-ENTITIES’, ‘UTF-8′ );
Click on Update file and that is, your issue with publicize Facebook posts and special characters is solved.
Please comment if you have any issue with this fix.
