Problem was the page encoding. The wordpress database is UTF-8, i had switched the default to ISO-[something] to match the database we’re using to populate additional content and had not noticed any issue for over a month- until we started populating the blogs section of this page. We discovered the problem by following the code through the core files as it makes it way to the database, and noticed it adding some encoding in the last step before populating the database and saving the content. WordPress was attempting to apply the ISO encoding to a UTF database. I don’t know a ton about databases, but the result was obvious-failure.
thanks for your insight guys!
