I suggest everyone not to upgrade to 4.2.4 which is not stable; I am wondering what are the developper or wordpress support doing.

They have look in the database and they told me that WP is using different interclass characters : * utf8_roman_ci * utf8_bin * utf8_unicode_ci * utf8_general_ci * Latin1_swedish_ci * utf8mb4_general_ci * instead of just one : utf8_unicode_ci … for all the tables. * Migration from 4.2.3 to 4.2.4 has just messed it up. Please WP provide a fix as soon as possible. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [4.2.4 update, now missing content](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/424-update-now-missing-content/) * [okp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/okp/) * (@okp) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/424-update-now-missing-content/#post-6397530) * seems 4.2.4 was not tested enough. This is crazy to release an upgrade and say“ apply immediately”… it has some major bugs; I reported one… which just messed my whole site. It was automatic upgrade. Still no reply from the support. That’s just crazy and really bad for the image wordpress. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Bug in in my installation with WP 4.2.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/) * Thread Starter [okp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/okp/) * (@okp) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/#post-6397992) * feedback from my hosting company is that the site has to be declared as UTF8. Nothing on their site. Is there anyone who can help on this ? this is getting crazy I since I raised the incident… nothing came out of WP support. * there’s something wrong in the database update when moving to 4.2.4 * it was working fine on 4.2.3 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Bug in in my installation with WP 4.2.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/) * Thread Starter [okp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/okp/) * (@okp) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/#post-6397927) * what is sure is that the issue is coming from moving (and I assume auto upgrading the database) from 4.2.3 to 4.2.4. So I think there’s a major bug in the new release. My hosting company has not modified anything. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Bug in in my installation with WP 4.2.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/) * Thread Starter [okp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/okp/) * (@okp) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/#post-6397920) * of course, in fact the 4.2.4 introduces a new charset (which is just not working fine and of course has not been tested which seems really crazy) * > /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */ > define(‘DB_CHARSET’,‘ > utf8mb4’); * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [4.2.4 update, now missing content](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/424-update-now-missing-content/) * [okp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/okp/) * (@okp) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/424-update-now-missing-content/#post-6397462) * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424?replies=8](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424?replies=8) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Bug in in my installation with WP 4.2.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/) * Thread Starter [okp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/okp/) * (@okp) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/#post-6397897) * as an addition, even with all plugins disabled, I tried to reinstall… still the same. * how can we move forward ? is this a development release which has been distributed!!!!? what about the non regression testing… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Bug in in my installation with WP 4.2.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/) * Thread Starter [okp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/okp/) * (@okp) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bug-in-wp-424/#post-6397880) * for published post with only the character : YES. I can edit published post which have no within the body.

I assume that there is an issue in the upgrade process to 4.2.4 from 4.2.3. Existing posts are not editable and displayed in a weird character format on the blog. Editor is fine for new post but not to edit existing posts… * I have even some in some configuration listbox on WP. * this is just crazy to advise people to update immediately… automatic update should be disabled by default.. this update has just destroyed my blog.
