 * Hi again,
 * although I have set the csv import here:
    ⌊csv⌉ I get this error message for 
   one Czech post: error⌊error⌉ What should I do? What is it caused by? I asked 
   both my theme and hosting and they cannot help…
 * Thank you in advance.

 * I received this reply: as I can see from here it appears that you have database
   tables with different collations. You should be able to check the table collations
   with a tool such as PhpMyAdmin or Adminer, and change them if they do not match.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * Yes, from what I can see, this is not at all related to TablePress. It seems 
   to be caused by something else, maybe another plugin.
    Do the words in that error
   message sound familiar, like `C_recepty` and `C_Stavy`?

 * Hi,
 * “C_recepty” – recepty means recipes, C_Stavy – šťávy means juices – it is a post
   under the Category Juices, that is under the category Recipe.
    Can you please
   tell me more? Whom should I ask? Regards,

 * Hi,
 * ok, are you using any special plugins for categories or category management?
   
   I can imagine that your database has problems with the special characters in 
   šťávy for some reason.
 * Unfortunately, I’m not a database expert, so that I don’t know how to fix this.
   Can you maybe rename the category to something without accents?

 * Hi,
 * no, I am not. I only have the ThirstyAffiliate plugin, which creates categories
   of affiliate links, but not for posts.
    I already have two other posts in the
   category “Šťávy” and this problem appeared when entering a third post.

 * Hi,
 * hhm, that’s strange then. But as mentioned above, I’m not a database expert, 
   so that I can not really help here 🙁
    Mabye you can check the database collation
   using the suggested tool phpMyAdmin?

 * Hello, thank you, it´s kind of you that you are willing to help, but it has nothing
   to do with TablePress.
    I hope my hosting will help. Regards,

 * Hi,
 * yes, that would probably be the best, as they are the experts 🙂
 * Best wishes,
