Hi, I just migrated my Wordpress site to DO. I used an Ubuntu with preconfigured wordpress and transfered my files and my DB to the VPS. So far so good. I have this strange behavior: Filenames with unicode names (greek) do not link properly on website and eventually images do not show on site. Here are the facts:
- ssh into vps and ls shows filenames as ???.jpg
- performing ls | more shows filenames correclty! (So i assume that the original naming was not lost when transferring them)
- checking images from wordpress admin shows them as broken links.(they do not show)
- logging into to phpmyadmin and checking the corresponding tables (postmeta) shows the names in unicode.
- also, uploading one new image with unicode (greek) filename works OK… Any ideas?
