I added the code (above) but no change yet.

In reply to: Encoding issues (strange characters appearing)Hello and thanks for the response.
Yes, we did add the following to the wp-config.php – does it matter where we add this on the page? (Sorry again for the ridiculous questions!)
Damian
/** Database charset to use in creating database tables.
define( 'DB_CHARSET', 'utf8' );
/* The database collate type. Don't change this if in doubt. */Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Encoding issues (strange characters appearing)Thank you for responding and apologies for not getting back before now.
Have a look under Tools > Site Health > Info > Database to see what has been read out there.
There must be an entry for the charset there, it is in every project for me. If you don’t have it, the question would be which WordPress version are you using?
I did (finally!) check under Site Health > Info and saw nothing under charset – should there be something written there? If so, what and how would I be able to add something? Sorry for my lack of understanding!
We are using the most up to date version of WordPress (6.6.1). We asked our hosting team (A2) but they were not able to help us apart from suggesting a re-install of an earlier save.
Thanks

In reply to: Encoding issues (strange characters appearing)Hello again,
I wonder if anyone has any other ideas as we still have the same issue. If we do something simple like choosing a different font – would that help? We are using the default in our theme (Megaphone).
Thanks

- We have looked at site health and it appears okay – there was no record of anything to do with charset or collation. The only thing that was highlighted was the following which we don’t think is related: A PHP session was created by a?
session_start()
?function call. This interferes with REST API and loopback requests. The session should be closed by?session_write_close()
?before making any HTTP requests. - We then added code to wp-config.php: below:
<?php - //Begin Really Simple SSL session cookie settings
- @ini_set(‘session.cookie_httponly’, true);
- @ini_set(‘session.cookie_secure’, true);
- @ini_set(‘session.use_only_cookies’, true);
- //END Really Simple SSL
- // BEGIN A2 CONFIG
- define(‘WP_CACHE’, true);
- define( ‘WPCACHEHOME’, ‘/home/damianf/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/’ );
- define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true);
- // END A2 CONFIG
- /** Enable W3 Total Cache Edge Mode */
- define(‘W3TC_EDGE_MODE’, true); // Added by W3 Total Cache
- // ** MySQL settings ** //
- // //Added by WP-Cache Manager
- //Added by WP-Cache Manager
- define(‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, false);
- define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘damianf_wrdp1’); // The name of the database
- define(‘DB_USER’, ‘damianf_wrdp1’); // Your MySQL username
- define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘K})eL]d.j8t&’); // …and password
- define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value
- /** Database charset to use in creating database tables. / define( ‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’ ); /* The database collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
- define( ‘DB_COLLATE’, ” );
- define(‘SCRIPT_DEBUG’, true);
- We also changed settings in cpanel>Software>Select PHP version> selected –
mysqli and mysqind - From mysqind, nd_mysqli, and nd_pdo_mysql
Neither of these helped unfortunately.

In reply to: [Football Pool] 2019 Women’s World CupHello,
Thank you to those who have added the files for the Women’s World Cup and of course for the plug-in itself. However, I am having trouble importing this file and receive messages such as this:
Imported csv file should contain 18 columns (header contains 213 columns). See help page for the correct format.
I have looked at previous csv files (e.g. 2014 World Cup) and adapted the file above to match it but I still receive the same message.
Any help?
Thank you
Damian
