    The database should default to whatever you have set. I don’t specify Latin 1 when creating the database.

    Yes the PO’s DB is set to Latin 1 and my wp-config.php is set to UTF-8 (an has always been).
    “define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);”

    Some plugins’ db are in latin 1 yet…
    I just don’t understand why, it’s quite strange.
    Do you have a clue on this ? And how can I correct it ?

    Thank you

    Well I went to phpmyadmin, and I convert my db, every tables and columns to UTF-8…

    No visible change in WordPress…

    It created me some difficulties to transfer my website from one server to another and it seems to be some kinda bug from my hosting provider.

    I’ll try to transfer my website soon, and I’ll see if it was only that.

    Thank you

    Its because your database is set to default to Latin 1. The wp-config.php setting won’t change that. You need to have the setting changed in mysql by your hosting provider.
