Photo Seller – Charset errors when pulling data from database

[maurice.meyer]

The PhotoSeller plugin is misencoding characters pulled from the mysql database.

I have my buyer notification emails with umlauts (as I run a German shop) and they are not correctly displaying. “für” gets “für”, e.g.

Verifications made:

– it’s not a WordPress problem (umlauts in other sites/settings are displayed correctly)

– WordPress encoding is UTF-8

– MySQL database collation is utf8_general_ci

– MySQL table collations are all utf8_general_ci for WordPress and WPS

– The database entries are correctly coded (wps_cart_settings -> email_sent_on_purchase_body, and all the other entries too)

Is there a fix or a workaround for this?

Please set your PayPal IPN message format to UTF-8.

Thank you very much, this fixed the problem for the emails, they are now correctly encoded.

But in the backend, the encoding is still incorrect.

You mean the orders that came in before you fixed the IPN format?
