Hi,

I just upgraded (after some intermediate steps) to 1.8.4 and wordpress 3.5.2 and the problem remains…

Browsing the apache log, I found that the problem is that the plugin is generating the URL encoding accented characters using ISO 8859-1 (or a similar 8 bit codification) and NOT UTF-8 (which is what the filesystem and web server use).

Is there a way of telling the plugin to encode/decode accented characters using UTF-8?

Great,

thanx a lot for your help, Sayontan.

OK, forget it… the problem was that every message was tagged as spam. For some reason, Akismet didn’t like that I say that my web site is https://www.hp.com ??

Well… that was exactly the problem. It was easy to fix, though. Here’s a patch for subversion:

// create database backup sql file and zip it up
         if($backupType=='db' || $backupType=='full'){
             // backup database
-            $backupCommand    = "mysqldump -u ".DB_USER." --password=".DB_PASSWORD." ".DB_NAME." > ".$dbBackupSQLFilepath; // credentials from Database.cfg.php
+            if (!defined('DB_HOST')) define('DB_HOST','localhost');
+            $backupCommand    = "mysqldump -u ".DB_USER." --password=".DB_PASSWORD." --host=".DB_HOST." ".DB_NAME." > ".$dbBackupSQLFilepath; // credentials from Database.cfg.php
             exec($backupCommand);
             // if the database backup file we just created doesnt exist, error out
             if(!file_exists($dbBackupSQLFilepath)){

I have the exact same problem. May it be related to the fact that the database server is not on the same host as the web server?

Thanx a lot, forestb. I just made it work.

The problem was that when I pressed the ‘setup widget’ link, the ‘janrain engage admin panel entry’ was replaced by the setup widget page and it didn’t appear again…. I manually jumped to it again and could press the ‘save’ button.
