@Michaelb24179, if you want to update your xenforo to use the proper charset, let me know, it's actually not that difficult if you have access to SSH to your server.
If you're running
XenForo 2.1+, XenForo provides a
safe CLI-based tool:
Code:
php cmd.php xf:convert-utf8mb4
This will:
- Convert all tables and columns properly
- Handle index resizing for InnoDB tables
- Skip already-correct tables
Simply run this command from the root public directory of your XenForo installation.
