The plugin has a serious bug – it removes the default value in the tables if they are set. This may break the operation of some plugins. Be careful!

This plugin’s slug is?database-collation-fix, but the current Text Domain is?dbcollationfix. Change the current Text Domain so it is equal to this plugin’s slug, and modify the text domain in all your source files. This change is?needed, please refer to this?official article.

This plugin’s GitHub repository seems to be behind the current version code, so I pasted the modified code here.

All changes are in databasecollationfix.php.

Line 10 should be the following.

Text Domain: database-collation-fix

The following lines should be corrected their UI strings with the wrong text domain dbcollationfix to the correct text domain database-collation-fix.

Line 137, 142, 161, 222, 233, 267, 281, 319, 320, 341, 342, 343, 350, 360,

hey guys, I was curious if there are any updates required and if its php8 ready?

thanks so much!

why not also offer utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci collation? your documentation reads as though as long as the collation is set to X in wp-config, that it will detect that collation and use that as the ‘convert to’ collation… but, that does not appear to be the case.

in today’s world of emojis and special characters, could you incorporate utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci ?

This is a nice tool, but you actually can’t use it to migrate your database to the collation you give in wp-config.php. It has a list of collations to look for, and always chances them back from eg. unicode_520 to unicode. Even if you have have set DB_COLLATE = utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci
