Ah yes, This was someone else thread which I added to with the same problem. I did start a new topic which I have closed already; that explains the confusion.

Thanks Hearvox. I have a Jetpack alternative contact page ready to go, I like that the current form redirects to a FAQ page after submission.
The page is doing what it’s supposed to functionally, it just produces this error. It’s definitely only started doing it in the last couple of weeks, certainly less than a month. I’m mentioning it in the spirit of clean code rather than a problem for me.

Many thanks
Si.

I’m getting the same thing from my Contact Form, I was putting it down to spambots or similar as the form functions properly and I get contact messages from it. I haven’t explored in depth and the messages only started to appear after the last WP update.

mod_fcgid: stderr: PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars(): Invalid multibyte sequence in argument in*****gloucesterphotographer/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 3205, referer: http://www.gloucesterphotographer.com/contact-me/

I started to get the same message but with line 3192 in formatting.php. I tweaked my contact form and the error message has moved to 3205.

line 3192 is this bit..

function esc_textarea( $text ) {
$safe_text = htmlspecialchars( $text, ENT_QUOTES, get_option( ‘blog_charset’ ) );
/**
* Filter a string cleaned and escaped for output in a textarea element.
*
* @since 3.1.0
*
* @param string $safe_text The text after it has been escaped.
* @param string $text The text prior to being escaped.
*/
return apply_filters( ‘esc_textarea’, $safe_text, $text );
}

Sorry for rambling… I can’t figure it out but my contact page is pretty simple if it helps get to the bottom of it.

All best
SI
