Misdefined character problem

    Hello, I just started new WP site. I am managing server on localhost right now for customizing my theme. I am having a trouble about character problem.

    My main site is Turkish, how ever I am planning multiple language later. My problem is when I create post/page/categories which has lowercase named, my theme automatically converts uppercase which is OK for me.

    In Turkish we have 2 different case from English letters. In English i=I(uppercase) but in Turkish i=İ(uppercase) and also ı=I(uppercase).

    So wordpress is automatically changing my lowercase “i” to uppercase “I”, but I prefer “İ”.

    So default mysql collation is utf8mb4_unicode_ci. If I change it utf8mb4_turkish_ci I won’t have any problems. But when I serve multi language later it may be a problem which I don’t change collate.

    It may multiple solution for this problem with CSS with text-transform, but I want to solve this mainly. Is there any solution for XML file attachment with wp-config.php or any solution with other CSS codes (may be HTML character codes replacement or any function with basic if-else solution)

    I hope explain my problem very well, thank you for your help already.

    Hi there,

    Sites that are “local host” use a different version of the WordPress software from what we use here on WordPress.com. To clarify, WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites (using software from WordPress.org) are two different entities.

    The essential difference is that even though they are both called “WordPress” we run a custom cloud-based version of the WordPress software that allows us to power millions of sites.

    However, this also means that there can be some differences in the management and capabilities of your WordPress site, depending on which platform you set your site up on. Because of this we are not able to help with your issue as it lies outside of our system. Localhost sites do not behave the same as cloud-hosted sites on WordPress.com. See http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ for more info.

    You can find support for your self-hosted (localhost) WordPress site here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    Hope that points you in the right direction!
