Settings don't keep my German "Umlauts" about wp-maintenance-mode HOT 27 CLOSED

in the forum, my code hasn't displayed right :-/

I mean, as soon as I enter "&auml" for "ä" in the plugin's setting and save it, it is correctly displayed in the frontend.
But every time, when I return back to the settings of the plugin, there is again "ä" in the texts, instead of the changed "&auml".
The plugin doesn't remember my umlauts, when I return back to the settings.

works on my current test in 1.8.0

from wp-maintenance-mode.

it still does not work - see the plugin's forum. I add my "umlauts", save the settings page, close it, and when I re-open it again, the "&auml" etc. is gone, I see the Umlauts, but at the frontend of my site, there are again only cryptic signs.
So I need to edit my whole text again with "ä" etc. and save it again :-(

Ok, I will check this. But I have test it before releasing the last version. Your database is in Unicode, utf-8?

from wp-maintenance-mode.

yes, it is.
WP 3.4.2 network installation, both backend and frontend in German; using German version of WP downloaded from wpde.org

from wp-maintenance-mode.

New test: WP 3.5 Beta and Multisite install; plugin active in Network.
see the screenshot: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/132701/wpmm.png

thanks, but strange ... what is, when you now close the settings page and re-open it, do you need to change the Umlaute again to "& uuml;" etc. so that the frontend shows it right, too?

When I then reopen the settings page, and KEEP the Umlaute as they are, then the frontend is showing them wrong. So I need to go back and change the Umlaute again.

The screenshot was after reload the settings-page, also the frontend in different browsers and reloads.

Do you have install the plugin via FTP or automatic install in backend?

from wp-maintenance-mode.

If you have the plugin on the network active, please check the database entry in table _sitemeta for the item wp-maintenance-mode

see: http://www.diigo.com/item/image/1j30r/jkx4
with umlaut

from wp-maintenance-mode.

no, I have it only in 2 of 5 blogs at the moment active, and I install them via the WP network admin dashboard.

I've just checked it according to your screenshot, I haven't any "wp-maintenacen-mode" in ..._sitemeta in my database (via PhpMyAdmin). I have searched the whole database with "maintenance" and don't get anything at all??

Do you have any idea, why it doesn't work and where I can take a look? Thanks.

from wp-maintenance-mode.

ok, I will test also in single activation in network.
If the install is via backend, then are the file sin unicode. The database is UTF8?

from wp-maintenance-mode.

yes, I have checked this yesterday.

from wp-maintenance-mode.

Ready; my test works also in a single activation, also with umlaut.

from wp-maintenance-mode.

:-( now I'm clueless ... have you any suggestion, what I can check, too? Perhaps a complete re-install of the plugin? Might this help? FTP or better via dashboard?

from wp-maintenance-mode.

I think, that helps not. But I will test also via install from backend and not my developer version form github.

from wp-maintenance-mode.

ok, thanks in advance, I will wait this ...

from wp-maintenance-mode.

Works also. If I add as text ü and refresh the settings, then is always the ü on settings page and also on frontend. I mean, I can write ü and alsio ü - is the same result: ü.

from wp-maintenance-mode.

strange ... that's the difference to me ... If I add as text "& uuml;" and refresh the page, then it is gone, and I see "ü" AND at frontend it is wrong again. So I have to go back, add again "& uuml;" and save and never go back ;-) Then it's okay at the frontend.

from wp-maintenance-mode.

hm, strange
maybe a other plugin; but this string have not so much filters form WP.

from wp-maintenance-mode.

I had tested it some time ago with all other plugins disabled, but it's the same. Nevertheless, I can live with it, though it would be great, that it worked without permanently editing the Umlaute. Thanks for your help, if we can't solve with it, I handle it as usual.

from wp-maintenance-mode.

Can it depend on themes? I have all - English - themes from Themeforest?

from wp-maintenance-mode.

I think no, but all is possible wit code. It is possible, that I get a account for testing?

from wp-maintenance-mode.

yes, sure, I write you an e-mail at your website, give me some minutes plz

from wp-maintenance-mode.

great 😺

from wp-maintenance-mode.

An idea: can it be something with the themes of the plugin? I use the "Chemielabor" mostly ...

from wp-maintenance-mode.

No, the sting is always the same. Works also with "Chemielabor"

from wp-maintenance-mode.

Is a problem from different charset in the database. But with the header is it possible to set to charset of the install, enhanced in cdceaba
