Hi @wladevet,
I am investiging this in https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-alphabet/#post-9604942 too.
I have tried the standard WP DB API that I use in my plugin, but it doesn’t work well with those characters (and Chinese as well). I am looking into this, but I don’t have a fix yet 🙂 Do you want to be a tester for this?
Kind regards,
Jeroen Peters
Hi @wladevet,
I have a version available for testing. Because it’s for testing, it’s a .zip file which you can download and install. It’s a different version of the current plugin.
It’s compatible with the export option for my currenct plugin (so you can export and import). The shortcode is almost the same, it’s [namedirectory_mb dir="1"].
This way you can switch your page to the plugin which supports multibyte characters (Chinese, Arabic, Nordic) and if it does not work you can switch back to the old one, because that’s still installed.
Do you want to help me test this? I can process your feedback too 🙂
Kind regards,
Jeroen Peters
thanks for the answer! Can i testing this plugin?
Hi @wladevet,

Hi @wladevet,
You can download the zipfile at http://www.jeroenpeters.com/name-directory-mb.zip
You can install it in WordPress by uploading it in the admin screen for the plugins. It’s name is ‘Name Directory (Multibyte)’.
It’s compatible with the export option for my currenct plugin (so you can export and import). The shortcode is almost the same, it’s [namedirectory_mb dir=”1″].
So please go to your current Name Directory and export the Directory you want to show on your website.
Now go to the Name Directory Multibyte admin page and create a new directory where you import your just exported .csv file.
In the settings of the directory, please adjust “Show all letters on index ” to NO.
Now you can add new names which begin wich characters from non-latin characters.
Please share your feedback with me 🙂
Kind regards,
Jeroen Peters
