   The plugin doesn't work if you put special (national) characters into the settings, e.g. "Anchor text for the Homepage:"

   I have changed the encoding of the plugin to UTF-8 - it doesn't solve the issue. Special characters get overwritten and cannot be saved.

   Yes, same here. Can someone help us. Its good plugin, but without special characters support its not working for me. Please, reply with solution. Thanks.

   Converting to UTF-8 is no solution.

   Katenutri,
   I find the solution.
   1. In yst_plugin_tools.php on line 165 and 203 find this function: "htmlentities" and replace it with "stripslashes".
   2. Edit Yoast Breadcrumbs plugin in wordpress admin page. Replace Home, Blog etc. with words from your native language:

   $opt['home'] = "Home(Wordinyourlanguage)";
   $opt['blog'] = "Blog(Wordinyourlanguage)";
   $opt['sep'] = "»";
   $opt['prefix'] = "You are here:(Wordinyourlang.)";
   $opt['boldlast'] = true;
   $opt['nofollowhome'] = false;
   $opt['singleparent'] = 0;
   $opt['singlecatprefix'] = true;
   $opt['archiveprefix'] = "Archives for(Wordinyourlanguage)";
   $opt['searchprefix'] = "Serches for(Wordinyourlanguage)";

   3. Go to Settings/Breadcrumbs and again replace Home, Blog etc. with words from your native language.

   In WordPress admin panel this words are still showing like this "�а�ало", but on website everything is good.

   Good luck ;)

   Hi,

   Thanks for posting back.

   However, my problem isn't that special characters display incorrectly, but that "Special characters get overwritten and cannot be saved."

   I put in a word in Polish, save settings and when I leave the page it goes back to "Home" again. It only saves the value if I use no special characters.

   I replaced "htmlentities" with "stripslashes" but it didn't help.

   Thanks anyway.

   Kate

   Hi,
   You should make steps 2 and 3. Maybe i did not explain correctly. After step 1 you must edit yoast-breadcrumbs.php and write you special characters in the correct fields. And after that write them again in wordpress admin/Settings/Breadcrumbs. Then it somehow recognize them and everything is ok.

   Only replacing "htmlentities" with "stripslashes" is not enought. Try it again.

   Regards.

   Works indeed. It was the "edit yoast-breadcrumbs.php" that was missing in your first post.

   Well, I do think that this is a major bug in the plugin and should be fixed.

   Many thanks for your help.
