    Hi there,

    I know german sounds hard and awkward. It although looks awkward, but for some words we need the ‘ß’. In the body of the text it is shown normal, but in Headlines it switches to ‘ss’. Is there any way to fix it and have the ‘ß’?

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello Julian,

    Please try using HTML code ß See attached screenshot.
    We’ve answered you on the thread.

    Thanks for both answers!

    Unfortunately, the html code doesn’t work as you can see in the screenshots. In the headline it becomes an ‘ss’ in the body it just shows the code. Do you have an idea why that happens?

    Hi there,

    now I’m a bit confused! I can log me in as usual. Is there any difference when you or me is trying to log in?

    Hello Julian,

    This might be wordpress character encoding problem. Check this thread:http://www.ashout.com/fix-character-encoding-problem-in-wordpress/. Please also note to backup your site before doing anything else.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    I didn’t tried your suggested thread, I found another solution. Because I think it’s just because the headlines are all uppercase. So I used the code

    <span style="text-transform: lowercase;">ß</span>

    what worked very well. In headlines and body text as well. Just in the third featured Headline on the starting page (http://reintueten.de) there appears now a gap between the letters and I don’t know how to get this away.

    Do you have an Idea?

    Hi there,

    Thanks for updating. It’s because the span inside the headline has a default padding left. SO you can just update your code to following :

    <span style="text-transform: lowercase; padding-left: 10px">ß</span>

    Let’s change the padding-left value if needed.

    Cheers!
