That's not exactly a WordPress problems, and it would be easier to upgrade MySQL on the server, to be honest. You need MySQL 5.5.3 or higher to support the utf8mb4_unicode_ci collation. Have you...

Older versions of MySQL don't support utf8mb4 properly. Which is why we were asking if anyone knows how to export or alter the database to go from utf8mb4 back to utf8. If you're going to be importing...

Which is why we were asking if anyone knows how to export or alter the database to go from utf8mb4 back to utf8. Right. You can't actually do that. If you have 4 byte characters in the database, then...

Huh. Never seen that option before. I suppose that would do the trick, although you might be missing the 4 byte characters, if any are there. I'd double check after you do your import.

Thanks for the response James, but have already determined that there are no cache issues. As for the database optimisation - I do it regularly, and wouldn't consider the database to be “very large” …...

It's pretty uncommon, actually. WordPress is a content management system. Most people write their content on the actual site where it will be published. Not on some other dev site first. Sure, you use...

Sure, you use a dev site to develop themes and plugins, but those are files. They have nothing to do with the content in the database. What? Installing plugins and themes writes data to the database....
