Excellent Plug-in, Jafo, thank you for creating and sharing it.

XMan, I am receiving the same issue as you are.

When posting a blog article for the first time into VB, the encoding is fine.

But then, when editing a WP article, all of the characters do not translate to the edited version of the blog post in VB.

When WP was UTF-8, and VB was ISO 8859-1, question marks ("), the and symbol (&), and apostrophes (') converted to "?" in VB when I edited a WP post in WP.

So, I decided to change both WP and VB encoding to UTF-8 (since I have read that this is more universally used), and now edited WP posts post all characters OK, except for the "&" symbol, which displays in the edited VB post as "&"

Again, I really appreciate the Plug-in, and this is going to be very useful for both my WP and VB installations.

I haven't activated the User Bridge or WP comment bridge yet, but I will try to activate and test this within a few days.

For now, I love the fact that my WP blogs post in VB, and that when I edit a WP blog post, the edits appear in the same VB post as well, without impacting VB replies to that bridged WP article.

vBulletin (running for years) is using ISO 8859-1 and i had trouble with charset when publishing Wordpress post to vbulletin. Wordpress was configured for UTF-8 and i had to convert WP tables from UTF-8 to ISO and to set the charest to use into both wp-config.php and WP settings\reading\Charset.

Now everything is *almost* running fine :
- Creating a new post in Wordpress
- Publishing it in Wordpress
- Checking the posted version on vBulletin -> Characters with accents are OK "????..."

But something unexpected happens when editing Wordpress posts :
- Editing a previously published post
- doing some changes to the post (including Title and Post content itself) & publishing it again
- Post's characters are OK into WP, Post's title is OK in vB but characters with accents are not showing anymore into post's content in vB.

E.g. :
- Creating a WP post with title="testing (???)" and content="testing (???)" -> Ok in vBulletin.
- Opening this post into WP and modifying it : title="testing (???) - edit" and content="testing (???) - edit" -> title will display correctly into vB but post's content will display "testing (?) - edit"

Copy/paste of this text in a new post and publishing it works. editing a post doesn't.

Any ideas ?
