Hi there,
I decoded the string “\xC4\x8Dilov” and it worked out to be Čilov. We created an author using the same name, but we couldn’t reproduce this same error: https://d.pr/i/bNNv1u. Based on the ellipsis in the error message, it looks like this may be part of a longer name, so if that’s the case, please share the full name and we’ll try that as well.
It would also be helpful if you could share a screenshot of the server info from the Tools > Site Health > Info menu.
Thank you!

The Author column isn’t visible by default, but you can display it by clicking the Toggle Columns button and then enabling it in the table.
When do you get this error message? Does it happen when you view the Pages report, or is it triggered when a new view is recorded?
To be honest, I don’t know – I get it when I loging into the website, but kinsta surpresses the same error messages for six hours :/ But I got it repeatedly. If it helps, I can give you access to the staging site (and I can copy the current state for you).
And as well it looks like the counting of the visitors is somehow underestimated, at least it looks like to me (no visit to the homepage etc.).
Is there any easy way to debug?
Thanks!
A staging site would be very helpful. Please reach out to us at [email protected], and we can discuss this further and look into the issue with the homepage visitor count as well.
@bensibley thanks! You have it there <3
Thank you! I just replied via email with a solution that should work 🙂
Seems to work! Thanks a lot once again.
Note: if anyone else experiences this error, the underlying issue was that the database was using a collation that didn’t include characters used in an author’s name. It was resolved by changing the collation of the tables to utf8mb4_unicode_520_ci.
