I fixed the problem myself by exporting the WordPress database and then editing it with a text editor, using find and replace to replace all occurrences of apostrophes etc, then re-importing the database. But I would have preferred to not go to such lengths. Not particularly impressed that I could find no info in the support forums at WordPress.org at the time. Thanks for the tip Kevin.

As far as I know your the only one who has brought out anything which resolves this. Again, I'm surprised how little wordpress mentioned this when they moved to version 2.2 let me know if you release an update, im sure readers would want to know about it :) Your more than welcome g30rg3_x.

And as you say, even the converter works greats there are some minimal bugs that m still working on it, in the next 2 weeks i will release the next version of the plugin/converter that will resolve a lot of problems and mysql incompatibility's between and 5, and other problems that i think will make a better solution... So as you say even i spend much time creating and findinf the correct solution, the plugin is still a not general solution, i have see the basic bloggers will not have problems converting but pro-bloggers that have biggest databases and very modificated databases that its a challenge for me that i'm pretty sure i will win in the next version...

So I'm now not 100% sure how well the converter works. I know removing those lines from the wp-config.php field works perfectly though Let me know how you all get on with this :) I checked dozens of posts yesterday but I’ve just came across one of my older posts which still had one of those characters on it ie. after the database was converted.

Then again, I try to avoid using apostrophes in my articles so that may explain it. I agree that it is odd that no mention was made of this by WordPress.
