Not able to input Tamil in Self Hosted WordPress
If you are not able to input tamil alphabets in your self hosted WordPress blog and the Letters get converted to ??????? after you publish them, here is the solution for you
- Login to your CPanel
- Go to phpMyAdmin
- Choose the WordPress Database. Unless you have named otherwise, it will be named as yourcpanelusername_wrdp1
- Click wp_comments
- Look for a row beginning with comment_author
- Check the third column (in the same row) and you will find latin1_swedish_ci
- Now see the ninth column (in the same row) and you will find a symbol of a pen / pencil and when you take your mouse over that, the Word “Change” Pops over
- Click it
- When the new page opens, check for the 4th row which says Collation
- See the 2nd column in 4th row, you will see latin1_swedish_ci
- Click it and choose the last option utf8_unicode_ci
- Click Save
- Now repeat this procedure for the ninth row, comment_content
- Turn to the left margin and Click wp_posts
- Do similar steps for post_content
- Do similar steps for post_title
- Do similar steps for post_excerpt
- Do similar steps for post_name
- All is well
- Now you can post in Tamil and Comment in Tamil
A lot of tables are in Latin_Swedish encoding. Let them be like it. We need to change only what is needed. There is no use in changing each and every field.
So I feel this solution is superior to http://codex.wordpress.org/Converting_Database_Character_Sets where you are supposed to change a lot of fields
If there is any problem, please say post the problem in the comments
