Product Description Turns Blank in Admin

Thanks, both of you.

In phpMyadmin, all the tables are latin1_swedish_ci

And there is no define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8') or any define('DB_CHARSET', '') in either configure file.

And there is no mention of // charset for web pages and emails
define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');
in admin/includes/languages/english.php - ~ line 63-64

Oh - and yes, I recently upgraded from 139h - that's when the problem happened.

If you are using ZenCart 1.5.x version then tables should be utf8
I thought that the DB upgrade took care of this but here is an app to do so

Re: Product Description Turns Blank in Admin

Thanks Cobra. Fixed now. I used that app, then added define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8'); to both configure files, and product descriptions reappeared. :D
