[Plugin: WP Photo Album Plus] cannot Set Character set to UTF-8

What does it say at the top of the settings page? I mean the line like:
Database revision: 241. WP Charset: UTF-8. WPPA Charset: UTF-8.

It says: “Database revision: 243. WP Charset: UTF-8. WPPA Charset: default.”

Are you sure the default charset of your sql is not utf-8?
If the default charset in your (hosting providers) sql config is utf-8, you need no conversion, it is utf-8 by default.

I just found the error.

on line 251 of wppa_settings.php it reads:
if (!options_error) {

this should be:
if (!$options_error) {

Please change it (add the dollar sign) and try again. This will fix it.

Sorry for this typo!

everything’s charset is utf-8 in my project.

I made the changes you wrote, but nothing changed ?? Is there any other solution to set the charset to utf8?

I tested it on my last site where it was not done yet and it worked.
If you supply me an email address (opajaap at opajaap.nl) i will send you the fixed wppa_settings.php

I think I had a server connection error ?? I tried again and again, at the end it’s done! thank you ??

Case closed?

definitely! thanks ??
