  • Hello,

    I’m sorry this plugin is causing you trouble.

    This plugin does already support UTF-8 if the rest of your WordPress site supports it. I just checked on my testing site and was able to display Greek using the default Twenty Fourteen theme. Here’s a screenshot (I don’t read or write in Greek, so it is text translated using Google Translator): http://1drv.ms/1C9rTqN

    As it is not working on your site, this problem must be a compatibility issue. I have an idea or two about how to resolve this if you’ll help me gather a little information. I have explained how below.

    ——————————-

    What I Need to Know
    I need to know if the UTF-8 characters are being stored in your WordPress database correctly or not. This will tell me whether Greek isn’t being saved, or if its just not being displayed.

    How to Find Out
    There’s two ways to check. The first is easiest, but not entirely conclusive. The second is much more accurate, but requires access to your database. If you are comfortable with and have access to your database, you can do the second. If not, do not worry about it.

    1.) Create an Ad Blocking Detector shortcode with your Greek text. Save the shortcode. Close the Ad Blocking Detector dashboard completely (navigate to another page, or close the browser window), then return to it. If you now edit the shortcode, does your Greek text appear in the Adblock/No Adblock text editor? Or is it messed up there? If it’s messed up there, then the UTF-8 characters are likely not being stored properly.

    2.) Browse to your WordPress database. This is easiest using a tool like phpMyAdmin, which is often provided by web hosts. Log into your database, and open the table called wp_abd_shortcodes (where wp_ is whatever table prefix your WordPress install uses). Look for the row corresponding with your shortcode. You should see Greek letters in the adblock/noadblock columns as you specified when making the shortcode. If the Greek letters are missing or messed up, then your database isn’t receiving or storing the UTF-8 properly.

    Once you have this information, let me know the results, and we can work from there.

    ———————————

    Again, I’m sorry this plugin is giving you trouble. I hope to resolve this quickly!

    All the others Database entries are Utf-8 General_ci. The tables of wp_abd_shortcodes is latin1_swedish_ci.

    I changed the table collation and reinstalled the plugin, now it works fine. Propably it was something i did when i was transferring servers.

    Really appreciate your fast response, you plugin works great, thanks

    Glad everything worked out!
