I’m pretty sure it’s an issue with my MySql setup but I can’t figure out how to fix it because I can’t find any reference to the same error.
PROBLEM:
I create the database with the right collation utf8_general_ci. I install wordpress, but when I look at the tables that were created they use utf8mb4 as the charset. Shouldn’t they be using utf8_general_ci?
I’ve checked the MySql forums but can’t find anything about this or I’m just not doing the right kind of search.
Any suggestions?
