masking of umlauts

[Anonymous]

Hello,

we have imported data sets via phpmyadmin where umlauts like ä, ö, ü and & are enclosed.

For example the sign ‘&’ is masked in HTML with ‘&’.

The script masks also the first ‘&’ of ‘&’ (HTML: ‘&’). So the output ist ‘&’.

Is there a possibility to avoid this masking in the output?

Thanks for helping!

There’s no solution here: the only place where html is allowed is in the description of the event (the database column “event_notes”. In which table does this masking occur? And did you verify that the database table contains the correct content?

In which table does this masking occur?

The masking occurs in table ‘wp_dbem_events’, especially in the column ‘event_name’. We need the output as HTML because the descriptions of the events are containing links and line breaks.

The event_name column should not contain any html, all description should go in the column event_notes
