Hey Isaacj,

Hi All,

Update! When upgrading to ExpressionEngine 2.x, it changes a database to UTF-8. In some cases, the data is already stored as UTF-8, like some punctuation marks and other characters.

That data can become double-encoded in UTF-8 and it comes out as noise and corrupts the site preferences.

Thanks!

That is an interesting piece of information, Dan. But I do not know what to do with that information.

How can I tell if my database has been double-encoded?

NEVER MIND. Rolled it back for the umpteenth time, including brand new EE2.5.3 files and began anew. At last, it worked.

Hey Susan,

I am glad to hear it! Really happy it’s working for you.

If you need anything else, please just let me know by opening a new thread.

I am going to close off this thread as it’s getting a tad older. 😊

Cheers,
