The plugin imports data with wrong encoded characters
Last Updated 5 years ago
This is usually due to a wrong encoding in the original database. You must re-encode your SPIP database before running the import. To do it, you can follow this procedure:
http://contrib.spip.net/Convertir-un-site-SPIP-3-en-utf-8-avec-le-plugin (in French)
If you have already imported the site to WordPress and if you don't want to import it again, you can use this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/search-and-replace/ to replace the wrong encoded characters with the good ones directly in the WordPress database.
