Thanks nisigia. Bad news I think I know the problem and I’m not sure how to fix it easily. Will you confirm this?

Your wp_bp_* MySQL tables are of type ‘utf8’ but wp_bb_* are of latin1?

[Inactive 15 years ago]

you are right – in the collation column i have “latin1_swedish_ci” & “utf8_general_ci”. could you drive me from here?

[@djpaul Keymaster 15 years ago]

The problem is that they need to be the same (ideally, utf8) – this gives the ??? problem.

I’ve just done a test install and it’s installed the databases with these types.

If you look on the bb-config.php in the root directory of your site, I bet the “charset” is set to “UTF” — but the database tables are still installed as latin1.

The forums component is probably the weakest area of my BuddyPress knowledge. I’ve had a look at the code and I can’t see anything obviously wrong. I’ll let you know once I have news.

Bug reported https://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1445

[Inactive 15 years ago]

i confirm bb-config.php is set to “utf8”

i changed all Collations from wp_bb_ “latin1_swedish_ci” to “utf8_general_ci”

i deleted the old entries and create new ones – character problem is SOLVED – everything is now readable.

thank you vm for your time and precious help djpaul.
