Hi hatespam,

thank you for your reply. Indeed removing all umlaut (??ü) will solve the problem since standard characters so far always work fine for import. Yet I need them in the column wp_posts.post_title for being matched with other posts (who unfortunately do have umlauts present). So for my usecase omitting or replacing umlaut is not an option. I was thinking of a work-around starting a SQL script after the import with replacement characters, and the script changing replacements (e.g. “#”, “@”, “+”) to umlaut (e.g. “?”, “?”, “ü”) within wp_posts.post_title, but I really prefer an automated solution from within the plugin.

The error message is very lengthy – the essential part I posted already. The lengthy part contains paths and data of the text to be imported. I can provide one if necessary, yet I think the message is just stating that the iport script cannot handle non-standard characters, and what really matters is that the import has not been performed at all with umlaut.

I was hoping to reach the developer of the plugin with my post, since I believe the problem lies within the core of it (Code base, Code page (?)) and the solution is peanuts fot the developer. Let’s see if he responds… ??

Thanks and regards,
Jurgen

Hi,

Thank you for your answer. I also use Tablepress, and there are no problems like the ones I have with EventList. I already tried UTF-8 and the plug-in cannot “understand teh header lines of the CSV document. I guess it is an internal problem of this plug-in that only the developer can fix – or maybe there is a workaround so I just keep trying.

Kind regards,
Jurgen
