Quotation marks in text suddenly shown as Tagg‧ and problem with Gallery format
-
Hi!
I just noticed that many of the Quotation marks in regular text in my old posts have been replaced with the word Tagg‧. So “example” is now shown as Tagg‧ example Tagg‧
I hope this is a temporary glitch?
Another problem is that my posts in the Gallery category are now listed with regular formatting on index pages and not with the special gallery format as before (only one image shown and a link to view all)? There is a new option to change this when making a post but do we really have to go back and edit all old posts in the gallery category?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Can you give us a link to a post where the quotation mark thing is happening?
http://bengansblogg.wordpress.com/category/gallery/ is a standard category page, so with the theme you are using it shows an excerpt of the posts in that category and a read more link. When you click the read more link you see the images.

I have the very same problem with “Tagg” and it’s driving me crazy! Please tell me how to get rid of it!! :( Here’s a link to one of the posts in which the problem persists:

Contact staff directly on this at http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/ . It is something they will have to fix.

I see you alread have more examples for the quote mark so hopefully that will be fixed soon. :)
About the Gallery category:
If you look at page 2 here http://bengansblogg.wordpress.com/category/gallery/page/2/ that post I have now enabled the “gallery template” manually. Before yesterday all posts in the gallery category was displayed like that by default. I guess this has now been changed. -
I believe that you have to set a “featured image” for each post and then the image will appear in the excerpt. I’ve never messed with the featured image on twenty ten.
Open that post on gallery/page/2/ and look down below the text area or to the right of the text area and see if a featured image is set for that post. Then check the other posts and see if featured images are set for those.
Staff has been doing some theme tinkering I believe since I’ve been seeing little things here and there added to the themes that I haven’t seen before. Perhaps some change they made caused this to happen.

I have reported the issue to staff already. I doubt it has anything to do with featured images. These are the two URL:s I provided as examples:

http://martinsunnqvist.wordpress.com/2010/11/24/rattskedjan-finns-inte/After sending my report, I found yet another blog affected by the problem:
None of these seem to include any featured image sets (just a few regular inline images, like any web page). However, a common property of the pages seems to be that they are (in) Swedish; has anyone seen the phenomenon on a blog in any other language?
Note also that Unicode contains several different quotation marks; since the phrases introduced by “Tagg‧” usually end with U+201D RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK (”), I suspect that the replaced character is U+201C LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK (“). The classical U+0022 QUOTATION MARK (“), found already in ASCII, which appears in other places doesn’t seem to be affected.
Let’s see if the problem affects this comment as well…

Sorry, I misread your comments as if the two issues had anything to do with each other. Please ignore my mention of the featured image sets.
Anyway, all three quotation marks used in my previous comment appeared as they should, “Tagg‧” (four letters and one U+2027 HYPHENATION POINT) being literally inserted by myself only.

Hi. I don’t have a Swedish-language blog, and I don’t speak the language (other than Tack så mycket :-) but I can say that something similar happened to the French blogs. One fine day, quotation marks in French went from « » to ” “; (notice the semicolon).
It turns out quotation marks are part of a given translation project. Someone had incorrectly added a semicolon in the translation project in question, got it validated, but fortunately staff reverted the change after I sent them a quick email to let them know.
So hopefully if someone advised staff of this, they will restore the regular quotation marks soon for our fellow Swedish bloggers.
