 * Hi,
 * I have a problem when I use wr pagebuilder, all the é, à è, etc. character are
   replaced by “?” on the preview and the front end display.
    I tried using the 
   default WP theme but still and error. But when I disable the wr pagebuilder and
   use the default WP editor it works. Does anyone have the same error? Any solution?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * I solved it adding that in the code :
    /core/core.php : update line 581 : $data[]
   = htmlspecialchars_decode(htmlentities(trim( stripslashes( $shortcode ) ), ENT_NOQUOTES,“
   UTF-8”));
 * add line 650 : $content = utf8_encode($content);
 * This is just a quick fix, spread the word if you think it’s worth it!
 * Looking forward for th official fix.
 * Thanks.
