currency change not working

changing from USD to GBP on an english language site.

i have changed my default currency to pounds, but now all the items i have listed (through easy populate) are showing as 0 with no currency on the site, but in the admin showing up as £ with the correct price. im so confused? lol. i have changed currency before with no problem... changing the "configuration->mystore->switch to default language currency->false" then changing it to GBP and refreshing using the button on the currency page.... i dont understand why all my prices and currency are showing up on admin, but not on the public site... :no::shocking::frusty:

Re: currency change not working

Did you set GB Pound as default??

admin > localization > currencies > GB Pound > edit > check the box next to "Set as default (requires a manual update of currency values)"

Re: currency change not working

The Â is a collation issue

Did the information exist in a previous database for an earlier store?
