I think something like this is more pretty:

if ( ($charset) && strtoupper( trim($charset))=== get_option(’blog_charset’);

$charset = get_option(’blog_charset’);//$charset = strtoupper( trim($charset));

else

$charset = ‘ASCII, UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, JIS, EUC-JP, SJIS’;

@CGHill: The plugin is not needed once you update to 2.8.5 so you might as well deactivate it. In the event that you leave it activated though, there shouldn’t be any conflicts.

Very nice. Should this plugin be deactivated before installing 2.8.5?

Good enough. I figure they'll shovel it out to us in the morning. (I have four blogs to do.)
