Hello Kriesi.
How can I have portuguese with accents in the text of the 3 collumns in the button of homepage and in the sidebar?
I am with problems of accentuation in the characters of the site, appears a interogation (?) where it has accents. How to correct the accentuation in Portuguese?
This is very urgent.

Thank you.

Hi!

Please provide your site URL.

If a font doesn't contain the character you need, you need to change the font.

Regards,
James

Hello,

Is 2 language website. I begin with the english version ( http://habita-natura.com/en/ ) and all works fine.
But with the portuguese version ( http://habita-natura.com/pt ) come problems of accentuation in the characters of the site, it appears a interogation (?) where it has accents, as you can see in the homepage (Look for:TEST TEST TEST: ^~´` in the home page, second column).
I change the "index.php" file as in the english version, but it doesn't work. The same happens when I change text in the sidebar.

I have tried with widgets, as you can see in the 1st column of homepage, but it isn't the same bcause the title and text gos down a little bit.

Do you think you can help me with a solution?

I want also to the pictures in this link http://habita-natura.com/pt/casa-dos-carvalhos/ with the same prettyphoto behaviour the the portfolio, when you clik.

Thanks a lot. You are the best support in themeforest.

Thanks.

This is a character encoding problem and can be fixed but needs a little time. When creating / editing an article, you need to find the correct character entity to display it in HTML properly.

You can find a complete reference here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references

To use a character reference, you must start with a & and end with a ;

So for example, to use the letter "e" with an acute accent, the code would look like this:

é

which looks like this é. You need to find the correct character for each letter that doesn't display correctly and change them using the HTML view in WordPress. The correct character should appear if you switch to Visual view.

Thanks for the quick answer! You rock!

I want also to the pictures in this link http://habita-natura.com/pt/casa-dos-carvalhos/ with the same prettyphoto behaviour of portfolio pages, when you click over.

Thanks again.

Sure, you need to add this code to images, making sure they link to the larger version:

rel="prettyPhoto"

so a image link should look similar to this:

<a href="LARGE-IMAGE-LINK"><img src="SMALL-IMAGE-LINK" alt="MY-ALT-TEXT" rel="prettyPhoto" /></a>

Replace the text in CAPITALS with the relevant details.
