So, I have 2 sites. One in production, and the another in development. They have the same content and uploads.
In production, images with names containing æ, ø, or Ã¥ gets the character replaced with something else, for example ø get replaced with ø, and then saved in the upload folder. And it works! WordPress somehow gets the right image when I request it.
E.g: wp-content/upload/2015/01/interiørtips.jpg will display the image interiørtips.jpg.
In the database, the references to the images are saved normally, including the special characters; æøå is used in the name, not some other obscure character combination. This means that the database is ok.
I exported all the content from production to a fresh database in development, but now every image which has either an æ, ø, or Ã¥ in it wont load the same way as in production. The request wp-content/upload/2015/01/interiørtips.jpg won’t load anything, but wp-content/upload/2015/01/interiørtips.jpg will. This is opposite of the behavior in production.
Does anyone know anything about this?
EDIT: I’ll probably just some rename tool. But, if anyone has any insights, please share.
