You have set the charset in coppermine's config to iso8859-1. It's not surprising that this happens then: iso8859-1 can of course not display hebrew chars. If the content from your database is in utf-8, you need to set the config option back to utf-8 as well. Looks like you haven't performed the move as you should have done, but instead you appear to have performed a fresh install and a merge of the database and files afterwards. That's not how you should perform a move to another server. Not related to initial install - moving accordingly.

I think I already told you, didn't I:

Well, then use the encoding you originally used to create the content in the first place. Maybe you used to have it set to Hebrew (iso-8859-8-i)? How should we know what your settings used to be?

Right now your encoding is set to utf-8 and not to iso-8859-8-i. Set it explicitely to iso-8859-8-i in Coppermine's config.

Maybe you should update your gallery for a start to make sure that this is not related to an issue that already was fixed. You're running behind many versions.

...which is what makes it a custom theme. It's a theme theme that was designed for cpg1.4.x that can't be used with cpg1.5.x without performing the modifications that I refered to. I'm not posting this without a reason.

I didn't say that your initial issue will go away if you perform the upgrade properly. It's you who rolled several issues into one.
Use a third party tool like phpMyAdmin to directly access the database content. Find out in what encoding the database's textual content has been written.

I have no idea what you did - you can't do what you claim to have done. You must have gotten something wrong. Maybe you should re-apply the move from the old server to the new one, doing as suggested in http://documentation.coppermine-gallery.net/en/export.htm#moving_server
