## Description

Since the release of WordPress 2.2 the character set has been set by default to 
UTF-8 and the users
 that come from previously versions of WordPress, may have some
problems with the old Latin1 character set and the new default UTF-8 character set.
This plugin has been designed and developed with the idea to do this complex task
in a easy 1-click way, so it will no require any type of advance knowledge about
the topic to make use of this plugin.

**Attention**: This plugin is no longer being maintained by the author

### NOTES

This plugin makes and a irreversible job to your database so consider seriously 
the task to make a complete backup of your
 WordPress based site before proceed 
with the task. This plugin has been designed to be only compatible with WordPress
versions 2.2.x and 2.1.x so running the plugin on other minor or major versions 
may have unexpected behavior.

## Installation

 1. [Open the file `wp-config.php` set `DB_CHARSET` to `utf8` and leave `DB_COLLATE` with nothing](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Database_character_set).(
    Just for WordPress 2.2.x)
 2. Upload `UTF8_DB_Converter.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 4. Go to the sub menu called ‘UTF-8 Database Converter’.
 5. And just follow the instructions on the screen.

## FAQ

  Why i can’t see the sub menu ‘UTF-8 Database Converter’?

If you are not the ‘blog owner’ or a user with level 10 (the maximum level), you
cannot access this plugin.
 Because this task is a little complex and exceeds the
normal user daily tasks, i have decided to make only visible and accessibly for 
the user with level 10 which is normally the blog owner or the blog administrator.

  What are the System Recommendations or do i need something else?

I make this plugin compatible with the next minimum requirements:
 * PHP >= 4.2 *
MySQL >= 4.1.2 So it will no require anything different or anything special to work.

  Can i delete it after the task is done?

Of course, once its make his job you no longer need use or have anymore this plugin
in your plugin activated/stored list.

Although the plugin's features are great, it no longer seems to work with WordPress
5.3.2; it might've worked with previous versions… I'm interested in getting it to
work, as I recently imported an old backup that was using latin1 or iso-8859-1 encoding.
I'll update my review and possibly try to publish a fix when I get it to work.
