Just a follow up on the resolution of this. I tried to use notepad++ to find files with a BOM. I had two. The problem was not resolved. As I run on Windows it wasn't until I updated a linux/apache website that I received an error message alerting me to the fact that a php file from another recipe I had downloaded also was in unicode (but with no BOM). Converting this to ASCII got rid of a whole lot of pain for me.
Simon PS I also uploaded a new ascii version saved version (new version date) of the recipe. ____ http://kiwiwiki.nz On 12 November 2015 at 19:45, Simon <nzsk...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thankyou very much > > I use Notepad++ <https://notepad-plus-plus.org/>, > I see it shows encoding as > [image: Inline images 1] > > I'll change theencoding to ANSI > I'll work through my (own) recipe files, ad you suggest > > Simon > > On 11 November 2015 at 22:32, Petko Yotov <5...@5ko.fr> wrote: > >> Your site is in the ISO-8859-1 encoding but the skin template is saved >> with a Unicode Byte Order Mark <U+FEFF> and the browsers cannot display the >> pages properly.
