[Plugin: Custom Contact Forms] Charcter Encoding

Which version are you running? Version 4.0.4 converts all table charset to UTF-8

Yes, it is Version 4.0.4

When I send a message by the plug-in for testing I receive it in Western ISO-8859-1 Charset.

Thank you for help.

I have the same problem.

I’m using Version 4.0.6, but when I check the message’s “raw source” they have the following code:

–b1_740ede90b9cae4b43e0c0d0170a41c5c
Content-Type: text/html; charset = “iso-8859-1”
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I have Spanish special characters and they are displayed like this:
????? ?3?o???????±???o

Can anyone please help?

Thanks!

I really want to use this amazing plugin so I’m trying to find a solution to my problem. I know that you can define in PHP the Character encoding with:

header(‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8’);

Other contact forms plugins define the character encoding like this:

$header .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=’. get_option(‘blog_charset’) . $php_eol;

or

$header .= ‘Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8’;

However in the Custom Contact Forms plugin I can’t find anywhere the character encoding. I know some PHP but this is beyond my knowledge.

Can you please help me find where and how I can define the Character encoding?

Thanks!

I figured out ??

This Plugin uses the default PHP mailer that comes with WordPress, so that’s why I couldn’t find the character encoding within the plugin’s files.

If you go to wp-includes/class.phpmailer.php on line 50 change

var $CharSet = ‘iso-8859-1’;

to

var $CharSet = ‘utf-8’;

After doing this the emails will be encoded utf-8.
