Problem with UTF8 chars and JSON_encode

[Antoniodelaiglesia]

Hi, I have been experiencing some problems with certain posts on my website when using the API. Specifically, the problem arises in the api/v1/API_base.php file, line 94, where the json_encode method raises ["Invalid UTF-8 sequence in argument"]

My MySQL database is in UTF8, and always has been:

default-character-set=utf8
default-collation=utf8_unicode_ci
character-set-server=utf8
collation-server=utf8_unicode_ci

How I can fix this?
thank you very much!

We have the same issue. We had to go in and remove the text that was causing the issue and hence a 500 server error on the response. Not optimal hoping for a bug fix :)

@adelaiglesia @srhise do either of you have example text I can reproduce this with? Thanks!

Hi, it was intermitent. In the past six months has not happened again. I checked the plugins code and it was a problema with json_enconde PHP function. I have seen http://stackoverflow.com/a/16498714 before your post but the solution did not solve the problem.
