 * Hello,
 * this has probably been answered elsewhere but Google doesn’t help much.
 * I have post links which are in Greek and usually quite long. Once links go over
   a certain length in characters they are truncated and only the truncated version
   works. Obviously I’d like the non-truncated version to work. I’ve read here:
 * [http://pento.net/2014/04/07/wordpress-and-utf-8/](http://pento.net/2014/04/07/wordpress-and-utf-8/)
 * that this issue has now been addressed provided you’re up to date with your MySQL
   libraries. Although I’m not sure my issue and pento’s topic are related.
 * BTW here’s my PHP/MySQL versions.
 * Your server is running PHP version 5.3.29 and MySQL version 5.5.31.
 * Warning: WordPress’ utf8mb4 support requires MySQL client library (mysqlnd) version
   5.0.9.
    Warning: For performance and security reasons, we strongly recommend 
   running PHP version 5.6 or higher.
 * Note all tables in my DB have collation of utf8.
 * How should I solve the problem of non-latin links being truncated?
