Christian..
Thanks a lot for ur plugin.
I faced a similar issue and finally ended up adding the following line
mysql_set_charset('utf8',$CON);
in the function j2wp_do_wp_connect()
right after the mysql_select_db
function. That solved my issue.
You might want to add an option for selecting the char_set in the plugin’s admin area .
Once again … thanks for the wonderful work you’ve done. ??
