Hi! the plugin worked out-of-the-box, today, for my 2.9.2 WP installation! great!

this is a feature request:
would it be possible to provide a password for the zipped database export? You say one should not keep it on the server, ok, but what if the email itself is cracked?
As one can difficultly control the encoding (like AES, etc.) of mails send by php, I think it would be a good idea to password-protect the archive.

greetings from Vienna!

I have a Danish blog, where I often also write in Chinese.

Until recently that was not a problem. However, I had to use a backup of the database, and now all the Chinese characters – in all three years of my articles – are converted into questionmarks.

Plus, now I can’t publish Chinese characters either. I can write them, but once they are published, there’s just a line of ?????.

As far as I can tell, none of the settings in Wordpress, MySql or Mars Edit have changed.

In Mars Edit the encoding is set to UTF-8 (which I need for special Danish characters æ, ø and å).

In the Wordpress dashboard it is also set to UTF-8.

And in Php Admin MySql it is utf8_danish_ci.

What to do? I really hope there’s help out there.

I had to restore my database after a failed attempt at upgrading (a plugin I need hasn't upgraded yet.)

But now all umlauts and special characters in my blog are missing.

I assume this has something to do with the character encoding. When I imported the backup file into phpMyAdmin, I was asked for "Character set of the file." I used UTF. I assume this was wrong, but I don't just want to try again because I started replacing some of the characters by hand.

Did something go wrong with the original backup, or can I get all my special characters back by chosing the proper character set?

Thank you for your help.
