Justed tried the conversion, and I noticed that some of my plugings stop working properly. I figured out that the problem was in the configuration strings (in the options table). As an example:
a:4:{s:5:”count”;b:0;s:12:”hierarchical”;b:1;s:8:”dropdown”;b:0;s:5:”title”;s:10:”Catégories”;}
You’ll notice that the term “Catégories” has an e-acute in it. If you convert to UTF-8, then this will break because the byte count will be wrong (s:10).
You need to use PhpMyAdmin and change manually the byte count so it reflects the change correctly.
s:10 would become s:11
But, I still have a problem though…. my widgets editor isn’t working properly. I cannot modify the properties of an active widget. The popup doesn’t appear at all.
Anyone ?
Thanks.
