Seems like the string with the Unicode character only shows up after the first page load. When you do additional page reloads it doesn’t appear again. However, if I remove 🐎 and only keep `hej` it works fine on every page load. Dunno what’s up with that behaviour. Maybe the first time it never gets it from the actual database. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[My YouTube Channel] No items [Check here why]](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/) * [MaTachi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matachi/) * (@matachi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/page/2/#post-5019180) * Haven’t tried the collation change, I’m affraid I will mess something up, especially on a live website. 😛 * But I have a locally installed instance of WordPress, which also has collation set to `utf8_general_ci`. I added the following three lines of code to the default plugin `hellp.php`: * ``` set_transient('kalle', '🐎hej'); $hej = get_transient('kalle'); echo $hej; ``` * And it prints the string `🐎hej` correctly on the screen. So apparently there shouldn’t be any problems with storing and getting those exotic Unicode characters. * However, my local web server runs another version of PHP, etc. Dunno if that matters. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[My YouTube Channel] No items [Check here why]](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/) * [MaTachi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matachi/) * (@matachi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/#post-5019178) * I tried the code change that you suggested, with base64 encoding the transient data, and it worked fine. However, it feels a bit like a hack. The downsides are the extra encoding/decoding and 33 % storage overhead. Although, I guess neither is noticable. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[My YouTube Channel] No items [Check here why]](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/) * [MaTachi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matachi/) * (@matachi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/#post-5019177) * I haven’t coded any WordPress plugins so I don’t know the API. But I’m wondering, why do you currently do `set_transient($cache_key, json_decode($json), $instance[' cache_time']);`? Isn’t it possible to store a JSON string as is in the database? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[My YouTube Channel] No items [Check here why]](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/) * [MaTachi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matachi/) * (@matachi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/#post-5019176) * I looked at my MySQL database and the collation for the varchar columns in `wp_options` are all set to `utf8_general_ci`. I wonder if it might work if I were to change the collation to `utf8_unicode_ci` instead. Apparently does the latter handle Unicode characters better, although a little slower; according to [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1036454/what-are-the-diffrences-between-utf8-general-ci-and-utf8-unicode-ci](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1036454/what-are-the-diffrences-between-utf8-general-ci-and-utf8-unicode-ci). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[My YouTube Channel] No items [Check here why]](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/) * [MaTachi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matachi/) * (@matachi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/#post-5019174) * I looked at your patch: * `$json = preg_replace('/🐎/','',$json);` * However, that does obviously only handle the Unicode character 🐎, i.e. U+1F40E. In the Unicode standard there are a lot more emoticons: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#In_the_Unicode_standard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoji#In_the_Unicode_standard) And I guess there would be problems with other Unicode characters as well: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[My YouTube Channel] No items [Check here why]](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/) * [MaTachi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matachi/) * (@matachi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/#post-5019172) * Is the problem in `set_transient` or in `json_decode`? I mean, I would think it’s desirable if they can handle all unicode characters properly. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[My YouTube Channel] No items [Check here why]](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/) * [MaTachi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matachi/) * (@matachi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/#post-5019170) * I set the timeout variable to 10 on both places in youtube-channel.php, but I’m still getting the same error. * It’s a little hard to follow the flow in the code because you have mixed both tabs and spaces for indentation, and WordPress’s editor shows tabs as 8 spaces wide. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[My YouTube Channel] No items [Check here why]](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/) * [MaTachi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/matachi/) * (@matachi) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-items-check-here-why/#post-5019168) * I’m experiencing the same problem. I don’t have any cache plugins activated on my WordPress blog. * This is my debug information from the plugin: * ``` server: Apache php: 5.4.8 wp: 3.9.1 ytc: 2.2.0 url: http://misslisibell.se title: Mina senaste YouTube-filmer channel: MissLisibell vidqty: 5 playlist: null use_res: null cache_time: 3600 only_pl: null getrnd: null maxrnd: 5 goto_txt: null showgoto: null popup_goto: null showtitle: on showvidesc: null descappend: … videsclen: null width: 220 height: null to_show: thumbnail autoplay: null controls: null fixnoitem: null ratio: 3 fixyt: null hideinfo: null hideanno: null themelight: null debugon: on userchan: null enhprivacy: null autoplay_mute: null ``` * However, the thumbnails show up as expected if I change the “Cache feed” setting to “Do not cache”. On the other hand, I suspect disabling the caching will affect the page load time and server performance negatively. Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total)
