    I, Rolland,

    The plugin let me create a field named with a Non-English character. Let’s say the French word “prénom”. And that’s Ok.

    But, when I use a shortcode like [pdb_list sort="true" fields="nom,prénom,profession"], I get a “No record found” notification when I try to sort by “prénom”.

    Replacing the “é” by HTML entity “é” don’t work.

    Any cue for a solution?

    Regards,

    Hi, Rolland,

    Changing the field name in the database solved my problem.

    Here are the steps for those who need more details to achieve this:

    • Connect to your web hosting provider account, open “cPanel” and choose “phpMyAdmin“.
    • Click on your WordPress database on the left panel. You will see 3 “_participants_database” in the list.
    • Select “_participants_database_fields“, change the name you need, click on “Execute” in the bottom and it’s done.

    Conclusion: having non-English character in a field name is NOT a good idea.

    Regards,

    Thanks for sharing this, I will see of this is something I can fix in the code. It should be possible to use such field names.
