Hi muranyia,
I’ve tried to recreate this issue and have been unable to do so…
My working theory is that the database character encoding hasn’t been set correctly and is set as latin1 rather than utf-8. There’s a pretty straight forward way to check/fix this.
If any of this makes you uncomfortable or you’re not sure, then PLEASE EMAIL ME before you accidentally take out your whole WordPress install! ([email protected])
You can check to see what the table is using pretty easily:
* Install the ‘Adminer’ Plugin
* Go to the “settings” menu on the wordpress admin and select adminer
* Open in a new tab
* Find this table in the right-hand column “wp_reallysimpleevents”
* it *should* say beside it in one of the columns ‘utf8_general_ci’
If it doesn’t say ‘uft8’ then you’re going to have to manually change it, but you can do this with adminer. NOTE!!!! I can’t accept any responsibility for any data loss that you might have!!! In saying that, I’ve done this before and didn’t have any problems…
Click “sql command” and execute the following:
ALTER TABLE wp_reallysimpleevents CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8;
That should fix it, if it doesn’t then there is one last command you can try:
alter table wp_reallysimpleevents change title title VARBINARY(255);
alter table wp_reallysimpleevents change title title VARCHAR(255) character set utf8;
