 * 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

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your answer. I also use Tablepress, and there are no problems like
   the ones I have with EventList. I already tried UTF-8 and the plug-in cannot “
   understand teh header lines of the CSV document. I guess it is an internal problem
   of this plug-in that only the developer can fix – or maybe there is a workaround
   so I just keep trying.
 * Kind regards,
    Jurgen
