    Default Re: Weird characters on admin screen

    There seemed to be a problem with /includes/version.php. It looked corrupted or something. It included weird characters instead of the version defines. If I copied another version defines to the file and saved, it then showed loads of oriental characters on the site, so even saving does not fix it. I had to delete the file then re-upload another one.

    The site worked yesterday since building it last year, and the modified date on the version.php was ages ago, so has not been tampered with.

    Only issue is I dont know if the site is 1.3.8 or 1.3.8a, so version.php is from a 1.3.8a site, hope this does not affect anything if it should be 1.3.8.

    And if you go to the Configuration ... Gzip ... and turn it off, does it fix it?
