    Thank you! If there’s someway I could help you, just tell me!

    Hey Chrillefkr,

    If you know how to code or someone that does it will probably get done much faster as I have a pretty big todo list right now… Here is the repository for where contributions can be made

    You are probably pulling from a Linux hosting to a Windows PC. On Windows, PHP can’t handle UTF-8 encoded filenames correctly — it’s a limitation of PHP, and why people say that PHP doesn’t really do Unicode (and why the much vaunted, never delivered PHP6 is supposed to be “the saviour”)

    See https://stackoverflow.com/a/1887617/911083

    cheers,

    Yeah PHP is a strange beast that is for sure… Thanks for that update @webaware…

    Cheers~

    Swedish – After 2 days of messing i solved it thrue phpadmin.

    I had this problem for all my migrations due to the swedish letters ??? missing in both the menu and product names. (i never use ??? in images)

    Some strange way i noticed in the log file from Duplicator Installer process that it said that the database server used latin1 as charset but as I could see it was utf8. I changed it to utf8mb4_general_ci in “Generall settings” in phpMyAdmin for the _db just to be sure and now all works like a Charm. The migration is a 100% clone ??

    Duplicator has saved me so many hours of work so heads up to you guys.

    are3na, do you have Linux or Windows in your local machine? I have tried meny combinations, but this just doesn’t work for me. I just try utf8mb4_general_ci in both databases, but no luck…

    Villevetela-
    Local machine is Windows and I have provider Loopia.

    Forogt to tell that in the .zip packade you probably need to edit the database file because there is 1 line that has CHARSET=latin1 instead of CHARSET=utf8 as the rest has. Open the zip file and just take the sql file and open it with notpad++ and edit the line and the put it back in the .zip file again. Then do the process as normal…

    Hope this really turn out well for you cause its a mess
