So i created a wordpress theme and the cyrillic characters in my .php files are not displayed correctly (for example front-page.php). I tried to change my php.ini file as following:
;default_charset = "UTF8"
;mssql.charset = "UTF8"
and the charset in the header.php:
<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
//which should return utf8 as written in wordpress codex.
But it didnt work. I created another file index1.php in my theme directory. And when i preview it the text in cyrillic is shown properly. And I think that the problem is with Wordpress (because otherwise everything is fine). My WP database is with utf8_general_ci. I am using wamp, localhost, Wordpress - 3.6.1
Thank you in advance!
