Hi, Cyrillic symbols (in utf8 encoding) are not displayed properly when I subscribe a customer via API.

    Hi,

    Can you please provide me with the correct symbols in question so I can test it on my side?

    Thanks.

    For example: Алексей Тарасов

    Hi,

    I subscribed via the API using 'Алексей Тарасов' and it's displaying correctly.

    Try changing your database encoding to UTF8 in phpmyadmin?

    Thanks.

    Hi Ben,

    Yes, I have already changed the collation of database/tables/fields to utf8_general_ci as I send my emails to the people from all over the world with different symbols in their names (Cyrillic, Korean, Arabic etc.)

    I resolved my problem by editing your dbConnect() functions in every php file (including encrypted functions.php)
    I have add the following command before returning $mysqli object:

    $mysqli->set_charset('utf8');

    p.s. maybe creating the separate dbConnect.php file (that will be included where it is used) would be more effective?

    Thanks

    Hi @altarvic,

    I was going to release the next version with these code, but you beat me to it. :)

    Thanks, this will be added in the next update.

    Ben
