I am not sure about this…
-
I’ve just been to your blog and that is quite bad. Have you contacted support?
I hope it gets sorted out soon.
-
I just tested out your experiments. It’s insane. It makes no sense, why some posts work and others dont.
-
The blogs listed above: universalgeni, kjeldberg, linerix have been fixed.
If you experience more problems of this kind, please contact support.

There is an old mistake on WordPress about the Danish letters.
They appear in a wrong order on the list of categories. The 3 Danish letters Æ, Ø and Å are supposed to end the alphabet. They don’t do that at the moment. They appear after the letter A.
It is a common mistake in the English speaking world, because the 3 Danish letters are said to be various form of the letter A. However the Danish alphabet is organized in an entirely different order.
And this is the case in all matters possible. Library, dictionary, schoolbooks – all you can possible think of. There is no exception from this rule. Check Danish Wikipedia for instance and you will see, the the letters Æ, Ø and Å ends the alphabet.
Link to alphabetical list in Danish Wikipedia: http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Alfabetisk_liste
If a Danish book has a title, that begins with one of the letters Æ, Ø or Å, is translated into English and you went to an English library to get it, you would have to look for it under the letter A.
But in Denmark you would find the same book on others shelves in the library – the ones that start after after X, Y, Z, – and then: Æ, Ø, Å.
This means – that readers who check the list of categories on a Danish blogg in order to find a specific issue – look in vane. They do not know, that WordPress has organized the Danish alphabet wrong.
Do you think it is possible to have this corrected? I hope this problem does not follow themes. Because if it is general, it is easier fixed. Below a screenshot of the correct order of the 3 Danish letters, that should end the alphabet on the list of categories, blog rolls and ALL other listings on WordPress.
I hope for solution to this problem.
This is said to be the codes for these special Danish characters:
Alt+0229 å
Alt+0197 Å
Alt+0230 æ
Alt+0198 Æ
Alt+0248 ø
Alt+0216 Ø -
Perhaps it is more fair to put it this way:
What is a correct way of alphabetizing in English is wrong in Danish. :-D
-
I should have put the codes in the correct order. Her it is:
Alt+0230 æ
Alt+0198 Æ
Alt+0248 ø
Alt+0216 Ø
Alt+0229 å
Alt+0197 Å -
so is the problem only fixed for the above blogs? Or for all blogs? Please fix mine too, if you please.

The problem has only been partially fixed on my blog. I still have problems. This new post from today for example:
Kindly reply. It is very frustrating to have problems of this kind and then have them ignored by Forum.
Thanks to carocat and staff for the posts above.
I will write support also…

I just did. It is frustrating to know, that lots of other Danish blogs are influenced by this bug-like thing.
I am also surprised. I thought that problems with special characters belonged in the internet childhood…
-
Islamo: I am sorry to hear, that your blog is still partially down. I did however mention it in this thread several hours ago…
-
-
Perhaps one should mention again, that it seems to follow certain themes. That might give Support an idea on how to fix it permanently..
-
-
I think it is called “Silver is the New Black”.
But surely this can’t be necessary?
Perhaps the moderators know which themes are supposed to be more stable?
-
Changing theme didn’t help, I tried ‘Silver is the new black’. Maybe Hodja has some setting we don’t have?
-
I just realized: my test blog is partially down as well. Same problem: http://universalgenitestblog.wordpress.com/
And one more thing: The Norwegian language uses these special letters as well – Æ, Ø and Å. All blogs from Norway with the affected themes must be partially down as well.
The Swedish language uses an Å…
-
Islamo: that was really strange! I did not change my settings. I have the same setting now as always. I haven’t got a clue…
This means that is does not follow specific themes but specific persons! Scary!
:(
