WordPress 2.9.2+BuddyPress 1.2.3

I realized that non-English characters are not working on my forums ??? They are turning to strange characters.

thanks. that helped. though that topic is not very helpful and doesn’t explain what to do for BuddyPress.

for non-English users, I will try to explain here.

via phpmyadmin go to your database. find wp_bb_topics table. click on structure. change all collation values to “utf8_general_ci”

do the same for wp_bb_posts table as well.

You should do the same thing to any tables that contain foreign characters in your database. That’ll probably include most if not all the tables beginning wp_bp_.
