Hi hatespam,

thank you for your reply. Indeed removing all umlaut (äöü) will solve the problem since standard characters so far always work fine for import. Yet I need them in the column wp_posts.post_title for being matched with other posts (who unfortunately do have umlauts present). So for my usecase omitting or replacing umlaut is not an option. I was thinking of a work-around starting a SQL script after the import with replacement characters, and the script changing replacements (e.g. “#”, “@”, “+”) to umlaut (e.g. “ä”, “ö”, “ü”) within wp_posts.post_title, but I really prefer an automated solution from within the plugin.

The error message is very lengthy – the essential part I posted already. The lengthy part contains paths and data of the text to be imported. I can provide one if necessary, yet I think the message is just stating that the iport script cannot handle non-standard characters, and what really matters is that the import has not been performed at all with umlaut.

I was hoping to reach the developer of the plugin with my post, since I believe the problem lies within the core of it (Code base, Code page (?)) and the solution is peanuts fot the developer. Let’s see if he responds… 😉

Thanks and regards,
Jurgen
