arthulavi

I’m having the same problem that umlaut-characters (ä, ö, ü etc.) are not shown correctly. Special chars are messed up in the front-page using shortcodes, messed up in the backend db view and when i open up phpmyadmin they look messed up there too.

On the page where form gets submitted, the html encoding is utf-8.

But.. as the WP installation dates back to who-knows-when, the mysql database has latin1_swedish_ci collation. Bglaettli, can you confirm that you have the same collation?

Now i changed wp_CF7DBPlugin_SUBMITS table’s collation to utf-8 and individual text fields in that table were utf-8 already. Inserted new data through form but still same issue – special chars messed up in the db. So i changed everything to latin1 and again submitted data thru form but still messed up.

I guess it’s that collation/charset thing that i never really have gotten time to clarify to myself 🙁

Help and hints appreciated.
