    Hi
    I making a site with WAMP (mysql 5.6) and I would like to ask witch collation to choose when starting WordPress 4.2.2 installation and then starting to build a site with WordPress 4.2.2 with different plugins (most of plugins are released before WP 4.2.2) and after that migrating to a real server ?

    2
    My host doesn’t allow me to select database collation (utf8mb4 or utf8) BEFORE database creation. All databases are created in UTF8.

    After creating a empty database in UTF8. I have a possibility to access phpmyadmin => operations => collation and change it from utf8 to utf8mb4. And then import all tables.

    It is the same as I create a database with PREselecting utf8mb4 ?
    After changing utf8 to utf8mb4 all tables and columns will be in utf8mb4 ?

    Thank you!

    Yes, that should work just fine, as long as your host is running a version of MySQL at or above 5.5.3.

    Build the blog locally as utf8mb4, then set your remote database as utf8mb4 before importing the tables.
