 * Hello,
    I have a problem with the character encoding with the widget instead 
   of “Août” and “Décembre” in French, i have “AoÃ»t” and “DÃ©cembre”. I tried to
   make corrections in the files of the plugin but nothing happens…
 * Do you help me ?
    Thx !

 * You mean the month titles in the calendar widget? Which version of Events Manager
   are you using?

 * hmm, this works for me; just to narrow down the problem and help us debug the
   issue is it possible to try the following temporarily:
 * – deactivating all other plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this
   works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(
   s).
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems
