I’ve got a test installation of my b2evolution blog, that I’ve just run through an upgrade on. Part of the upgrade converts the existing database tables to UTF8. When I ran through the upgrade steps though, two of the eighty-four tables haven’t converted and have ended up set on ‘latin1_swedish_ci’.
I’ve got access to the tables via phpMyAdmin, is there a safe way to convert the charset type to UTF8 without negatively impacting any data the tables hold?
I’ve tried the “Proceed with normalisation procedure” more than once, but it changes nothing.
