Wrong characters at Post Type block | WordPress.org

Hi!

Post Type block doesn’t get excerpt accents (Spanish) properly and they’re substituted for strange symbols.

Is there any way to fix that? (I realize my DB and tables have the right format and that only happens with Gutentor.)

Thanks.

Hi, @codersantosh I just found your bug.

In /gutentor/includes/functions.php, line 162 you are using the PHP function substr() to trim your custom excerpt
https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gutentor/trunk/includes/functions.php#L162

You should change it to the multibyte version mb_susbtr():

$the_excerpt = $the_excerpt ? mb_substr( $the_excerpt, 0, (int) $excerpt_length ).'…' : '';

(note I also change the three dots to the html entity … which renders three dots using a single character)
